Your new role:

As a Senior Quantity Surveyor, you will take the commercial lead on projects within a geographically focused team. Based in Welwyn Garden City, with flexibility for occasional remote working, you will provide full commercial oversight across live schemes, ensuring accurate reporting, cost control and contractual compliance. You will manage your own projects, lead commercial input on two‑stage procurement, and oversee assistant/quantity surveyors. Experience with DfE projects valued £20m–£70m is essential.

What you’ll need to succeed:

  • Proven experience within the main contracting environment, ideally at Tier 1 level.
  • Strong background delivering two‑stage projects and managing schemes independently.
  • Demonstrable experience on DfE projects at significant value.
  • A relevant qualification such as HNC / Degree in Commercial Management or similar, with RICS membership desirable.
  • Strong working knowledge of commercial and financial systems (e.g., Commercial Manager, COINS, Sphere).
  • Experience leading and developing junior commercial staff.
  • A collaborative, proactive approach and the ability to thrive in a hardworking, inclusive team environment.
What you’ll get in return:

You will join a dynamic and supportive business unit where no two days are the same. The culture is built on trust, teamwork and shared accountability, with a strong emphasis on professional growth and long‑term career development. You can expect a competitive salary in the region of £85,000–£95,000, along with a comprehensive benefits package and the opportunity to work on major, high‑profile projects across the region.
