Senior QS - Cut & Carve

Quantity Surveyor / Senior Quantity Surveyor | London Main Contractor | Cut & Carve Hotel Refurbishment | Central London | £85k + Package

Cut & carve experience is essential. This role is ideal for a QS ready to step up.

A well-established London main contractor is looking for a Quantity Surveyor or Senior Quantity Surveyor to lead the commercial side of a cut & carve hotel refurbishment in Central London.

This is a complex and rewarding project on an occupied city-centre site. You'll be working with existing structures, which means managing phasing, temporary works and change, so sharp commercial control really matters. The business has a strong London reputation, a healthy pipeline and a close-knit commercial team where your contribution is visible.

It's a great opportunity to take ownership of a high-profile scheme and step up, with experienced commercial support behind you.

The role

• Commercial management of the project from pre-construction through to final account
• Subcontract procurement, tendering, negotiation and appointments
• Client valuations, applications and the client final account
• Subcontractor valuations, payments and final accounts
• Change control, variations and contractual notices under JCT
• Managing commercial risk on existing structures, including unforeseen conditions, temporary works and phasing
• Monthly CVRs, cost reporting and forecasting
• Working closely with the project team, client, consultants and supply chain
• Supporting and developing junior QS team members

What you'll need

• Cut & carve experience is essential. That means structural alterations, retained structures or major refurbishment of existing buildings. New build-only experience will not be considered.
• Main contractor experience is essential. Consultancy-only or subcontractor-only backgrounds will not be considered.
• You must have led the commercial side of a project worth £10m or more.
• Strong JCT experience is essential.
• A stable CV is essential. You'll need to show solid tenure and commitment with previous employers. Frequent short-term moves will not be considered.
• Hotel, hospitality or high-end refurbishment experience is a strong advantage
• Ambition to step up and grow with the business
• A degree in Quantity Surveying or a related discipline

The package

• £85k basic
• A full package including car or car allowance, bonus, pension, healthcare and holiday
• A clear progression route within a growing London contractor
