Quantity Surveyor (Fit Out & Refurbishment)
3–5 years’ experience | £50k–£3m projects | Office + Site | Real career progression
Ready for your next step?
If you’ve already got a couple of years under your belt in Quantity Surveying (or a similar commercial role) and you’re looking for a role where you can step up, take ownership, and keep developing, this could be a great move.
Our client is a medium-sized Principal Contractor specialising in high-quality fit out and refurbishment projects, working directly with a wide range of clients – Including the Royal Opera House, Harrow Boys School and other prestigious organisations, alongside leading architects and consultants.
As part of their controlled and exciting growth, they’re looking for a bright, ambitious Quantity Surveyor to join their commercial team. You’ll be involved in both pre-contract tendering and post-contract commercial management, giving you a well-rounded role and the chance to genuinely grow your skillset.
This is a position for someone who wants to be part of a team where you’re trusted, supported, and given real responsibility – not just stuck doing the same tasks on repeat.
What you’ll be doing
You’ll work across projects typically ranging from £50k to £3m, helping drive both commercial performance and project success.
Key responsibilities include:
- Supporting tender preparation through site visits and surveys, identifying challenges, risks, and opportunities for value engineering
- Helping to manage and control project risk, including tender qualifications and ensuring risks are managed through mitigation/avoidance where possible
- Assisting with the preparation and pricing of schedules of work, Bills of Quantities, and specifications
- Breaking projects into trade packages and securing the best supply chain support through subcontractor and supplier tendering
- Completing tender comparisons and analysis, and making recommendations on procurement decisions
- Assisting with cash flow forecasting on secured projects
- Visiting sites to understand the works and see projects progress from start to finish
What they’re looking for
Our client is looking for someone who is keen to progress, enjoys being part of a team, and wants to build a long-term career.
- Around 3–5 years’ experience in a Quantity Surveying / commercial role (ideally within construction)
- A construction/surveying qualification is beneficial – but attitude, drive and willingness to learn matter just as much
- Strong communication skills and confidence dealing with suppliers, clients, and internal teams
- Organised, proactive, and committed to delivering high-quality work
What you’ll get in return
They offer a strong package and a clear path to progress:
- Competitive salary
- Company vehicle
- Pension contributions
- Healthcare package
- Death in service insurance
- Bonus scheme up to 10% of salary
- Funded further education and training
- A supportive team environment with real opportunities to grow as the company expands
