Senior Quantity Surveyor – Super Prime residential Fit-Out (Weybridge) - Permanent
“You only live twice.” Which is handy…Because every QS dies a little inside when they hear: “it’s just a small change”
Ever feel like being a QS is just firefighting… but in a suit?
You start the day reviewing costs. By lunch, there’s a variation for something that wasn’t on the drawings. By 3pm, someone’s telling you “it’s only a small change”… it’s not.
Welcome to super-prime.
We’re hiring for a £20m, James Bond-style super-prime residential fit-out near Weybridge – the kind of project where the finishes are exceptional, the details are relentless, and the budget needs constant defending.
The role (QS reality edition):
Keeping costs under control while the design evolves in real time Managing subcontractors who are very confident in their numbers Handling valuations, variations, and final accounts without losing your head Translating site chaos into commercial clarity Overseeing a Project QS and showing them how it’s really doneThe setup:
