Our client, an established main contractor operating across the fit-out and refurbishment sector, is seeking a Lead Senior Quantity Surveyor to join their commercial team in Central London.
This is a senior-level opportunity for an experienced QS to take ownership of the commercial function across a portfolio of smaller, fast-moving fit-out and refurbishment projects — rather than a single large scheme.
The Role:
* Lead commercial management across multiple concurrent fit-out/refurb projects
* Full pre- and post-contract QS duties: cost planning, procurement, valuations, subcontractor accounts, final accounts
* Manage and mentor junior/assistant surveyors within the team
* Report directly to Commercial Director / senior leadership
* Liaise closely with clients, PMs, and site teams to protect margin and programme
* Oversee project profitability and cash flow across the project mix
What They're Looking For:
* Proven track record running your own projects as lead QS, ideally managing multiple simultaneously
* Experience delivered under JCT Design & Build contracts essential
* Background within fit-out or refurbishment specifically
* Strong commercial acumen and negotiation skills
* Degree-qualified (or equivalent experience); MRICS desirable but not essential
* Confident leading and developing junior team members
On Offer:
* £80,000 – £125,000 (DOE) + benefits package
* Central London based
* Genuine progression within a growing commercial team
