A Role Unlike Any Other in Quantity Surveying

If you’re looking for a run-of-the-mill QS role, this probably isn’t for you. But if you’re an ambitious, commercially driven Quantity Surveyor with the vision to step into a leadership role, read on.

The Opportunity

  • Established, independent developer based in Leicestershire.
  • Diverse portfolio across infrastructure, residential, and commercial projects.
  • Role: Head of Commercial, leading strategy and driving growth.
  • Equity and future MD position on offer – this is a real opportunity to step up.
  • Uncapped earning potential – direct impact on the business and financial rewards to match.

Specialising in land development and project management, this consultancy works with housebuilders, developers, landowners, and investors to deliver high-quality, client-focused solutions.

This is an opportunity to take a senior leadership role, managing diverse projects across strategic infrastructure, residential, and commercial construction. The role offers genuine career progression, with a pathway to Directorship for the right candidate.

Key Responsibilities

  • Project Leadership – Oversee and manage commercial and cost strategy across multiple projects.
  • Pre & Post-Contract Services – Lead cost estimating, BOQ production, valuations, cost reporting, and final accounts.
  • Client & Stakeholder Management – Act as the principal commercial point of contact, ensuring client satisfaction and developing new business opportunities.
  • Procurement & Contract Management – Oversee tender processes, subcontractor negotiations, and contract administration under NEC & JCT contracts.
  • Change & Risk Management – Assess and manage variations, claims, and risk-mitigation strategies.
  • Team Development & Leadership – Mentor and support junior surveyors and project managers.
  • Business Growth & Development – Play a key role in expanding client relationships and securing future projects.

What We’re Looking For

  • Degree in Quantity Surveying, Construction Cost Management, or related field.
  • MRICS qualification preferred (support available for candidates working towards RICS chartership).
  • Proven experience in consultancy or client-side QS roles.
  • Strong understanding of NEC and JCT contracts.
  • Ability to manage multiple projects and drive commercial success.
  • Excellent negotiation, stakeholder management, and leadership skills.
  • Full UK driving licence and willingness to travel to project sites as needed.

Happy to talk anyone through this as it’s a big role.
