Senior Quantity Surveyor - London (Not your run-of-the-mill QS role)

If you're reading this, you probably know what a Senior QS does. You measure. You cost. You advise. You make sure budgets don't explode and projects don't stall. But our client - a boutique construction consultancy based in the heart of London - believes your work should be about more than spreadsheets and contracts.

Here, you'll get under the skin of projects. You'll be in the room with decision-makers from day one - helping shape schemes worth talking about. Whether it's a landmark city build, a heritage restoration, or a sleek commercial fit-out, your input won't just be "noted"; it'll be acted on.

Why this role feels different:

\n

\n You won't be siloed. Expect to dip into cost planning, procurement strategy, value engineering, and contract admin - all while collaborating directly with architects, developers, and end-users. \n

You'll join a consultancy where "client first" isn't just a slogan - they keep teams lean so your advice stays personal, agile, and genuinely influential. \n

You'll work alongside directors who still get stuck in (and remember what it's like to be on-site at 6am in the rain). \n

\n

What you'll bring:

\n

\n Strong PQS experience, ideally with consultancy background in London's commercial, residential, or mixed-use sectors. \n

Confidence in leading projects from pre-construction through to final account. \n

A knack for making complex cost advice clear for non-technical stakeholders. \n

MRICS , but experience and attitude carry equal weight. \n

\n

What you'll get:

\n

\n Salary in the £70-85k range (DOE) + benefits \n

Flexible working without losing team culture \n

A seat at the table, not just a slot on an org chart \n

Projects that make you proud to point out and say, "I worked on that" \n

\n

If you're tired of feeling like just another cog, this is your chance to work somewhere small enough to know your name, but big enough to deliver the kind of projects that define careers.
