We are looking for an experienced Senior Quantity Surveyor to take commercial ownership of major, high-specification commercial fit-out projects within our Operational team. With a significant scheme valued in excess of £10m anticipated to commence in January 2027, this is an opportunity for someone with a proven record of successfully delivering substantial fit-outs to lead the commercial function on a key project.

Main duties and responsibilities:

Working closely with the Senior Commercial Team, Project Manager and wider delivery team, you will lead the day-to-day commercial management of a complex, high-quality fit-out project, from procurement and construction through to final account. You will take ownership of commercial reporting, contractual matters and the supply chain, escalating material risks and decisions appropriately. Your responsibilities will include:

• Managing project commercials: Take ownership of project budgets, forecasts, cash flow, CVRs, risks and opportunities, providing accurate and timely commercial reporting.

• Leading procurement: Manage subcontract package procurement from enquiry and tender analysis through negotiation and recommendation, ensuring appropriate scope and risk allocation.

• Managing subcontract packages: Oversee subcontractor commercial performance, valuations, changes and account management across multiple specialist fit-out trades.

• Administering contracts: Manage key commercial processes under the main contract and subcontracts, including notices, records, valuations, variations and payment requirements.

• Managing valuations and payments: Prepare and agree client applications, assess subcontractor applications and administer payment notices in line with contractual requirements.

• Controlling change: Identify, substantiate, value and negotiate variations, proactively protecting commercial entitlement and the project margin.

• Agreeing final accounts: Lead subcontract final account negotiations and manage the main contract final account to timely agreement.

• Engaging with clients and project teams: Provide confident commercial leadership in client, consultant and subcontractor meetings, working closely with project delivery colleagues.
