Quantity Surveyor – Hertfordshire (near Hitchin)
Up to £75,000 + progression | Permanent
Ready to step up, or already leading from the front?
Want real ownership of projects – not just spreadsheets?
Looking for a role where your commercial decisions actually shape delivery?
An established M&E contractor is looking to strengthen their commercial team following an internal change. They’re open-minded on level – whether you’re an experienced QS who can run projects independently, or stepping into a QS role and want hands-on support from a strong Commercial Lead.
This is an urgent hire, so ideally you’ll be available immediately or on short notice.
The role
- Full lifecycle commercial management across projects
- Office-based near Hitchin, with site visits across London / South East
- Exposure to a mix of projects – giving you breadth, not repetition
- Work closely with delivery teams and senior leadership
What we’re looking for
We care less about sector background and more about solid QS fundamentals. M&E experience helps, but is not essential.
You’ll be able to demonstrate:
- Strong understanding of cost planning, budgeting and forecasting
- Proven ability in valuations, variations and final accounts
- Confidence managing subcontractor procurement and commercial negotiations
- Experience with various contract forms (e.g. JCT / NEC) and how they work in practice
- Ability to identify risk early and protect margin
- Clear, structured reporting and commercial communication
- Strong attention to detail combined with commercial instinct
Why consider this?
- Genuine flexibility on level – the role will be shaped around you
- Direct access to decision-makers – no layers, no politics
- Opportunity to accelerate your career quickly
- Up to £75,000 depending on experience
- Long-term progression opportunity
If you’re stuck in a role where you’re either underused or unsupported, this is a chance to reset – and do it properly.
