Senior / Managing Quantity Surveyor/ Estimator

Senior / Managing Quantity Surveyor/Estimating Manager - High-end Residential projects.

Your new company

A successful residential developer working across the UK on high-end developments seeks an experienced Managing Estimator/QS to join the team. With several new project starts imminent, almost exclusively for social housing developments, schemes are geared towards the higher end of the market and tend to be high-rise residential blocks, £6 - £60m. Due to a planned expansion within the business, there is now an additional need for a permanent Senior Quantity Surveyor/Estimator to work closely with the operations director and back office teams. With newly refurbished offices in a central location, a stacked order book, and a stable team, this is an excellent long-term opportunity for a Senior QS/Estimator looking to work on the more bespoke higher end of the residential sector.

Your new role

As Managing QS, you will be responsible for all commercial decisions across multiple sites. Your duties will include helping price new schemes, authorising payments, measuring/remeasuring works on site, assessing/agreeing variations, mitigating any financial risk, agreeing final accounts, and liaising with various stakeholders to ensure the right commercial decisions are being taken for the business. You will work predominantly in the Sheffield office, 2 days a week, with hybrid working, visiting your various sites once a month. You will be heavily involved in the shaping of the role, and your opinion will be actively sought on best practices and alternative processes. This is a key role within the business and one that is expected to grow into a commercial lead in the medium term.

What you'll need to succeed

You will be a competent Managing/Senior QS with a stable background working within the higher end residential sector. You will have previously worked in a similar role with either a main contractor or developer and be comfortable working independently, managing your own workload, and making commercial decisions. You will ideally have some form of surveying qualifications and be looking for a long-term career move.

What you'll get in return

You will be paid a competitive salary/package within an extremely stable and well-respected local business. The role has genuine opportunities to progress and offers a long-term opportunity within an experienced, long-standing professional team. Excellent benefits and bonus package are included, such as a company car/allowance, pension, private healthcare, and more.
