Senior Quantity Surveyor | Cut & Carve, Retrofit & Heritage | Main Contractor | Central London | Up to £90,000
 
Join a young, growing contractor delivering technically challenging refurbishment, retrofit, and heritage-led projects across London and the South East.
 
This is a design-conscious, commercially focused contractor working across cut & carve, retrofit, fit-out, and heritage schemes — spanning public sector, residential, and commercial projects typically ranging from £100k to £5m.
 
This is not a corporate, process-heavy environment. It’s a smaller business where QSs are trusted, given autonomy, and encouraged to take ownership — with strong senior support in place.
 
They’re currently delivering works at the Natural History Museum, alongside a £3m student accommodation scheme in Camberwell, with multiple projects running concurrently.
 
The Role
  • Working under a Commercial Director across 2–3 live projects
  • Supporting full commercial delivery: procurement, valuations, variations, CVRs, and cost reporting
  • Exposure to cut & carve refurbishments, retrofit schemes, fit-outs, and heritage projects
  • Involvement from early-stage through to final accounts
  • Office-based role with flexibility and site visits as required (no rigid attendance model)
  • Opportunity to grow into greater responsibility as the business scales
 
What they’re looking for
  • Senior Quantity Surveyor (or Intermediate QS ready for a step up)
  • Main contractor background preferred
  • Experience in refurbishment, fit-out, retrofit, or heavy refurb environments
  • Comfortable working across multiple projects simultaneously
  • Commercially sound, curious, and keen to develop under a Senior QS
 
The Company
They are a modern contractor delivering technically demanding refurbishment and heritage projects, including:
  • Cut & carve refurbishments
  • Retrofit & fabric upgrades
  • Fit-out & internal reconfiguration
  • Public sector & cultural buildings
  • Residential & mixed-use schemes
 
A good fit for someone who wants variety, autonomy, and progression rather than being boxed into a single repetitive project type.
