The Opportunity

We are currently recruiting for an experienced Quantity Surveyor to take a leading commercial role on a major £50m hotel conversion project in South London.

This is an excellent opportunity for a commercially driven Quantity Surveyor who is ready to take ownership of a major project and play a key role in its successful delivery.

You will lead the commercial management of the project, working closely with the Project Manager, Design Team, subcontractors and wider project team. You will also have an Assistant Quantity Surveyor reporting into you, giving you the opportunity to develop your leadership and management experience.

This is a role where you will have genuine responsibility and visibility across the project, rather than simply being one of a large commercial team.

• Manage and mentor an Assistant Quantity Surveyor.
• Manage project costs, forecasting, cash flow and financial reporting.
• Lead the procurement and commercial management of subcontract packages.
• Prepare and manage tenders, subcontract orders and contract documentation.
• Carry out detailed tender analysis and provide commercial recommendations.
• Manage valuations, payment applications, variations and change control.
• Identify and manage commercial risks and opportunities.
• Monitor project expenditure against budget and forecast final accounts.

You should have:

• Previous experience working as a Quantity Surveyor within a main contractor environment.
• Experience managing projects or packages of significant value.
• The ability to build effective relationships with project teams, clients and subcontractors.
• Experience supporting or mentoring junior commercial staff.
• A relevant Quantity Surveying, Commercial Management or Construction qualification is desirable.
• Experience within hotel, hospitality, refurbishment, fit-out or complex conversion projects would be highly advantageous.

Why Join?

This is more than simply another Quantity Surveyor position. You'll be joining a growing international construction business where there is a strong focus on professional development, autonomy and giving people the opportunity to progress.

You'll have the opportunity to:

• Take ownership of a £50m landmark hotel conversion.
• Lead and develop an Assistant Quantity Surveyor.
• Work alongside an experienced project and commercial team.
• Access international training and development opportunities, including opportunities to visit projects and teams abroad.
• Develop your career within an international construction group.
• Benefit from 30 days annual leave + bank holidays.
• Receive a travel allowance.

This is an excellent opportunity for a Quantity Surveyor to work for an exciting Main Contractor.
