Senior / Intermediate Quantity Surveyor
Major Residential & Co-Living Schemes | Islington | Up to £95,000
 
A well-established main contractor with a strong London pipeline is looking to appoint either a strong Intermediate QS ready to step up, or an experienced Senior QS, to support delivery across major residential and mixed-use developments.
 
This is not small housing.
These are multi-storey, RC frame schemes ranging from £35m to £150m+.
 
The Role
• Commercial management of large residential / co-living / student accommodation packages
• Subcontractor procurement, tender analysis and package buyout
• CVRs, cost reporting and forecasting
• Variations management upstream and downstream
• Working closely with the Project Manager and delivery team on site
• Taking packages from procurement through to final account
 
This is hands-on commercial delivery on live London schemes.
 
Current / Recent Schemes Include:
  • 326-unit residential conversion – NW10 – £84m
    • 692 homes phased estate regeneration – Mitcham – £93m
    • 407 flats + employment unit – Hayes – £109m
    • 321 co-living units + cultural/retail space – E17 – £60m
    • 662 student rooms + commercial – Brent Cross – £70m
    • 147,000 sq ft student-led mixed-use scheme – NW London – £147m
 
RC frame, phased programmes, mixed-use elements, infrastructure interfaces.
 
What they’re looking for
• Main contractor background
• Experience on multi-unit residential schemes (RC frame preferred)
• Comfortable running packages independently
• Strong CVR and subcontractor management capability
• Site-based mindset — proactive and commercially assertive
• Someone who prefers real responsibility over heavy corporate layering
 
Clear progression available depending on level - whether stepping into Senior territory or already operating there.
