Senior Quantity Surveyor

A specialist London construction consultancy is seeking an experienced Senior Quantity Surveyor to join their established cost management team. The consultancy has built a strong reputation for delivering complex and high-profile projects across the heritage, museum, cultural and commercial sectors, including schemes where historic buildings, sensitive environments and demanding client requirements require a considered approach to cost management.

The successful Senior Quantity Surveyor will take responsibility for projects from early feasibility and cost planning through procurement, construction and final account. Working closely with clients, architects and wider consultant teams, the Senior Quantity Surveyor will provide clear commercial advice while helping to protect budgets and maintain quality throughout each project.
