Project Quantity Surveyor | Refurbishment Contractor | Hertfordshire
A growing refurbishment contractor is looking to add an Intermediate or Senior Quantity Surveyor as part of a planned expansion following a strong year and increased turnover.
This is a hands-on, commercially focused role, working predominantly on warehouse and industrial refurbishment projects, typically ranging from £500k to £3m, with a steady pipeline and repeat client base.
If you’re comfortable running your own projects, producing valuations, managing subcontractor accounts, and working closely with delivery teams, this is a solid long-term opportunity.
The Role
- Running multiple refurbishment projects concurrently (£500k–£3m)
- Projects primarily focused on warehouse and industrial refurbishments
- Producing valuations, cost reports, CVRs, and final accounts
- Managing subcontractor procurement, payments, and variations
- Working closely with site teams and directors on commercial strategy
- JCT-based contracts with straightforward scopes and programmes
- Office-based circa 75%, with regular site visits for valuations and meetings
What they’re looking for
- Experienced Intermediate QS or recently stepped-up Senior QS
- Background in refurbishment or fit-out works essential
- Confident running projects with minimal supervision
- Strong understanding of valuations, variations, CVRs, and final accounts
- Commercially astute, organised, and comfortable managing multiple jobs
- Professional and dependable — personality fit matters in a close-knit team
The Company
They are an established refurbishment contractor with £13m turnover last year, projecting £20m this year following continued growth.
Around 80% of their work is warehouse refurbishment, typically valued between £500k and £5m, with repeat clients and a practical, no-nonsense approach to delivery.
This is a well-run business with sensible workloads, clear processes, and directors who are commercially switched on and accessible.
