Senior Quantity Surveyor / Quantity Surveyor

Senior or Project Quantity Surveyor | East London / Essex | Permanent | Up to £95,000

The Role:
We're partnering with a well-established contractor looking to appoint either a Senior QS or strong Project QS to join their commercial team on a permanent basis. You'll support the Head of
Commercial and work alongside an experienced Commercial Manager, taking ownership of schemes from procurement through to final account.

It's a hands-on role suited to someone who enjoys variety across refurb, fire safety, cladding remediation and planned works, and who's confident managing costs, supply chain, CVRs, valuations, and commercial reporting. You'll play a key role in ensuring projects run smoothly, profitably, and to compliance standards.

The Projects:
A steady pipeline of refurbishment and improvement projects across London & the South East, typically in the £5m£25m range, including:

• Social housing refurbishment in occupied and decant environments
• Cladding remediation & external envelope upgrades (EWI, fire-stopping, façade works)
• Internal planned maintenance (kitchens, bathrooms, M&E upgrades, heating, rewires)
• Estate improvements, regeneration, and community-focused works
• Smaller works division delivering roofing and fabric upgrades up to a few hundred thousand

Projects are framework-driven, compliance-led and require strong commercial control and a collaborative approach with client and resident-facing teams.

What they're looking for:
• 45 years post-grad experience with a main contractor
• Background in refurbishment, planned works, cladding or social housing projects (ideal)
• Strong commercial management across the full lifecycle procurement to final account
• Confident managing subcontractor packages, variations and CVRs
• Experience working in occupied environments is beneficial but not essential
• Based within reach of East London / Essex

The Company:
A growing medium-sized contractor with a strong reputation across London's refurbishment and improvement sector. With turnover surpassing £50m and rising, they deliver repeat-business frameworks with local authorities, housing providers, and public-sector clients.

You'll join a well-structured commercial team where you won't be lost in hierarchy. Visibility, influence and development are very realistic for the right person and progression is based on impact, not time served.
