Job description

Senior Quantity Surveyor | Main Contractor | Yorkshire | £65k–£75k + Package

Looking for a Senior Quantity Surveyor role where you can take commercial ownership of your projects and have the freedom to get on with the job?

We're working with an established regional main contractor looking to strengthen their commercial team with an experienced Senior Quantity Surveyor.

You'll take responsibility for your own projects across Yorkshire, managing them commercially from procurement through to final account and working closely with the operational team throughout delivery.

This is an opportunity for someone who enjoys being close to their projects, building relationships with clients and subcontractors and having the autonomy to make commercial decisions rather than simply reporting upwards.

The Role;

Take commercial ownership of projects from procurement through to final account

Manage subcontractor procurement, appointments, valuations and payments

Produce cost reports, forecasts and monitor project performance

Manage variations, change control and contractual matters

Identify and manage commercial risks and opportunities

Work closely with site and operational teams throughout project delivery

Manage client valuations and commercial reporting

Negotiate subcontractor and client final accounts

Maintain strong relationships with clients, consultants and the supply chain

What We're Looking For;

Experience as a Senior Quantity Surveyor, or an experienced QS ready to step up

Main contractor experience

Strong understanding of subcontract procurement and commercial management

Good contractual and commercial knowledge

Comfortable taking responsibility for your own projects

Confident dealing directly with clients and subcontractors

Strong negotiation and communication skills

Why Consider It?

Established regional main contractor

Opportunity to commercially run your own projects

Varied workload across Yorkshire

Good level of autonomy and responsibility

Work closely with senior management and operational teams

Long-term permanent opportunity with scope to progress

Opportunity for an experienced QS to make the step into a Senior QS position

This could suit an established Senior Quantity Surveyor looking for a change, or a strong Quantity Surveyor who is already managing their own projects and feels ready to make the step up in title, responsibility and package.

If you're looking for a role where you can take responsibility for your projects and become an important part of an established commercial team, this is well worth a conversation.

Interested? Get in touch for a confidential discussion and I'll happily talk you through the contractor, upcoming projects and package in more detail
