The Opportunity
We are representing a highly regarded specialist contractor operating within the super-prime residential sector in Central London, who are looking to appoint an experienced Senior Quantity Surveyor to join their growing commercial team.
This is an opportunity to work on some of London's most prestigious and high-value residential developments, where quality, attention to detail and commercial expertise are paramount.
We are specifically looking for a Quantity Surveyor with a proven track record within super-prime residential construction. Experience of high-end residential projects is essential — this is not a general construction QS position.
The Role
As Senior Quantity Surveyor, you will take commercial responsibility for major super-prime residential projects from pre-construction through to completion.
Your responsibilities will include:
* Managing the commercial and contractual performance of high-value residential projects.
* Preparing and managing project budgets, cost plans and forecasts.
* Procurement and management of subcontractor packages.
* Preparing, reviewing and negotiating subcontractor packages and accounts.
* Managing variations, valuations, payment applications and final accounts.
* Monitoring project costs, cash flow and commercial performance.
* Producing accurate financial reporting and forecasts for senior management.
* Managing commercial risk and identifying opportunities to improve project profitability.
* Working closely with Project Managers, Contracts Managers, clients, consultants and subcontractors.
* Supporting procurement and value engineering while maintaining the required quality and specification.
* Maintaining strong commercial relationships throughout the project lifecycle.
* Taking ownership of commercial issues and providing clear, commercially sound advice.
About You
You will be an experienced Senior Quantity Surveyor with a strong background in super-prime or ultra-high-end residential construction in Central London.
You must have demonstrable experience working on projects where budgets, specifications, finishes and client expectations are exceptionally high.
We are particularly interested in individuals with experience across:
* Super-prime residential developments
* High-end private residences
* Luxury apartments and penthouses
* Listed and period properties
* High-specification refurbishments
* Complex fit-out and refurbishment projects
* High-value bespoke residential schemes
You will need to demonstrate:
* Proven super-prime residential experience – essential
* Strong commercial and contractual knowledge
* Excellent subcontract procurement and package management skills
* Experience managing variations, valuations and final accounts
* Strong understanding of construction costs and commercial risk
* Excellent attention to detail
* Strong communication and negotiation skills
* The confidence to deal directly with high-net-worth clients, consultants and senior project stakeholders
* A commercially astute and proactive approach
Relevant construction or surveying qualifications are desirable, although sector experience, commercial capability and project track record are the key requirements.
Why Consider the Role?
This is a genuine opportunity to join an established business working at the very top end of the Central London residential market.
You will be exposed to prestigious projects, demanding clients and some of the highest standards of residential construction in the industry.
The successful candidate will have the opportunity to take significant commercial ownership of projects and play an important role within a highly experienced team.
