Conrad Consulting is working with a highly respected, forward‑thinking construction consultancy to appoint a Quantity Surveyor to their growing London team. This is an excellent opportunity for an ambitious QS—ideally MRICS or working toward chartership—to take on a diverse portfolio of meaningful, design‑led projects.

The Opportunity

Key Responsibilities

Deliver cost management services across all project stages

Prepare cost plans, estimates, tender documentation and contract administration

Support senior team members on major schemes while independently managing smaller projects

Engage confidently with clients, design teams and contractors

Contribute to best‑practice processes and continuous improvement within the team
