Job Description:

We are seeking a seasoned Commercial Lead / Senior Quantity Surveyor to manage a thriving portfolio of residential developments across Surrey/Sussex. This is a critical role for a "player-coach" who can balance the commercial health of a live site with the strategic demands of a busy tendering desk. You will be stepping into a live environment during a high-activity phase, managing a major existing project while securing our 2026/2027 pipeline.

Job Responsibility:

  • Full accountability for project profitability, managing monthly CVRs, and ensuring robust financial control on a high-volume live project
  • Lead the tendering scheme for two upcoming developments, ensuring competitive procurement and a seamless transition from bid to build
  • Directly supervise and develop an Apprentice QS, providing the guidance necessary to build our internal talent pool
  • Handle complex S/C valuations and negotiations, maintaining the high standards expected by a major main contractor

Requirements:

  • Proven track record of staying with employers to see long-term residential cycles through to completion
  • Significant experience working for Tier 1 Residential Main Contractors (e.g., Vistry, Berkeley, Barratt Redrow, or similar scale organizations)
  • A stable CV that reflects dedication to projects rather than frequent, short-term moves
  • Deep familiarity with large-scale residential frameworks, JCT/NEC contracts, and high-volume procurement
  • Candidates must be eligible to live and work in the UK
What we offer:
  • 12-Month Initial Contract (High potential for long-term extension)
  • Chance to see major schemes through from tender to final account
