Senior Quantity Surveyor – New Build Housing
Northamptonshire
Up to £75,000 + Bonus + Package
We are working with a privately owned developer known for its strong reputation, and are proud to have achieved 5-star status for six consecutive years!
The company operates with a “working together” management style, and offers a more family feel environment compared to many other developers. It is not heavily KPI driven and instead values trust, autonomy, and people being able to manage their own workload.
You will report to the Commercial Director and be trusted to manage your own projects without constant pressure or micromanagement. The team is supportive, understanding, and realistic about life outside of work. Family comes first here, and flexibility is offered when needed.
The Role
You will be involved across the full surveying function on residential developments, including
• Managing costs from pre-construction through to final account
• Leading procurement of subcontractors and suppliers
• Preparing valuations, variations, and cost reporting
• Monitoring budgets, forecasts, and commercial risks
• Working closely with site teams and senior management
• Mentoring and supporting junior surveyors where required
• Driving commercial performance across projects
What They’re Looking For
• Previous experience as a Senior / Quantity Surveyor working for a residential developer
• Strong commercial awareness and the ability to manage projects independently
• Someone organised, proactive, and confident in managing their own workload
• A steady, professional, and team focused approach
What’s In It For You
• Flexible working hours (when needed)
• Supportive management team
• Autonomy within your role
• Early finishes before Bank Holiday weekends
• Friday beers and social catch ups in the office with the team
• Long term opportunity within a privately owned business
This is a company where people are trusted, supported, and genuinely valued
