Are you a commercially driven Senior Quantity Surveyor looking for more influence, variety, and long-term progression within a growing consultancy?

I'm currently supporting a well-established but expanding consultancy in the Midlands that is looking to appoint a Senior Quantity Surveyor to play a key role across a diverse portfolio of major projects. This position offers the opportunity to move beyond pure delivery into a more advisory-led role, working closely with clients on commercial strategy and project performance.

The Role

This is a broad and influential position where you'll take ownership of the commercial function across multiple projects, acting as a trusted advisor to clients while ensuring strong financial and contractual control throughout.

Responsibilities will include:

• Developing and managing project budgets, forecasts, and cost reporting
• Providing strategic commercial input from early-stage planning through to completion
• Managing contract administration across a range of standard forms (including NEC)
• Leading on change management, variations, and dispute avoidance
• Reviewing and negotiating contractor submissions and commercial positions
• Supporting procurement activities, including tender evaluation and contract selection
• Building strong relationships with clients and project stakeholders
• Contributing to the development of internal processes and best practice
• Supporting and guiding junior team members

About You

• Experience operating at Senior Quantity Surveyor level within the built environment (infrastructure, energy, or major projects)
• Strong commercial awareness with the ability to influence project outcomes
• Good working knowledge of NEC or similar contract forms
• Degree-qualified in a relevant discipline
• MRICS qualified or working towards (desirable, not essential)
• Confident communicator who enjoys a client-facing role
• Able to manage a varied workload across multiple projects

What's on Offer

• £65,000 - £75,000 salary depending on experience
• Midlands-based role with flexible / hybrid working
• Exposure to a varied project portfolio offering real breadth and challenge
• Clear pathway for progression as the business continues to grow
• Support with professional development and chartership
• A collaborative, close-knit team environment where your input is valued

This role would suit someone who enjoys taking ownership, building client relationships, and having a genuine impact on project outcomes-rather than simply managing the numbers.

If you're open to hearing more, I'd be happy to share further details in confidence.
