London | £2m–£10m Projects | Commercial Offices | Freelance
An exciting opportunity has arisen for a Freelance Estimator / Quantity Surveyor to join a growing Fit Out & Refurbishment contractor based in London.
The company specialises in delivering commercial office Fit Out and Refurbishment projects, typically ranging from £2m–£10m, and has developed an excellent relationship with a well-known London client, with a strong pipeline of repeat work.
They are now looking for an experienced Estimator / Quantity Surveyor who wants to become genuinely involved in the business and play an important part in its continued growth.
The Role
This isn't a position where you will be restricted to one specific function.
The successful Estimator / Quantity Surveyor will primarily support the business across estimating, pre-construction and commercial activities, but they are looking for someone who is happy to roll their sleeves up and get involved wherever required.
Responsibilities will include:
* Estimating and pricing Fit Out & Refurbishment projects
* Reviewing tender documentation, drawings and specifications
* Preparing cost plans and tender submissions
* Obtaining and analysing subcontractor quotations
* Procurement and subcontractor negotiations
* Supporting live projects from a commercial perspective
* Cost reporting, valuations and variations
* Working closely with the Directors and senior management team
* Assisting with client meetings and tender presentations
* Getting involved in wider aspects of the company as the business continues to grow
The Person
The company is open-minded on background. You could come from a main contractor, fit out specialist, refurbishment contractor or another relevant area of construction.
More important is your attitude and approach.
They want someone who:
* Has experience within Estimating and/or Quantity Surveying
* Is commercially astute and confident dealing with subcontractors
* Is comfortable pricing projects in the £2m–£10m range
* Wants to become involved in more than just their job title
* Is confident working directly with senior management and clients
* Isn't afraid to offer ideas, challenge decisions and get involved
* Enjoys working within a smaller, growing business where they can make a genuine impact
The Opportunity
This is an excellent opportunity to work closely with the senior leadership of a growing London Fit Out & Refurbishment business.
They have an established relationship with a major client, a healthy pipeline of commercial office projects and ambitious plans for continued growth.
For someone who enjoys the flexibility and variety of working within an entrepreneurial contractor, this offers the chance to become a key part of the business rather than simply another number within a large commercial team.
