Quantity Surveyor, Manchester

Our client is looking to appoint an experienced Quantity Surveyor to join their North West team, delivering high-spec commercial fit-out and refurbishment projects across the region.

This is an excellent opportunity for a commercially astute QS who enjoys being heavily involved across the full project lifecycle - not just cost management. The business is looking for a strong all-rounder with the ability to work at pace within a fast-moving Tier 1 fit-out environment.

Salary & Package:

• 70,000 - 85,000 DOE
• Car allowance
• Bonus
• Private healthcare
• Pension
• Excellent long-term progression opportunities

The successful candidate will be involved in:

• Pricing and tendering projects
• Cost planning and budgeting
• Managing client contracts and subcontract packages
• Negotiating subcontractor packages and monthly valuations
• Managing variations and applications for payment
• Challenging design against budget constraints
• Identifying commercial risk and finding practical solutions
• Protecting and maximising project margins throughout delivery

The ideal candidate will have:

• Commercial fit-out or refurbishment experience
• Strong contract knowledge, including JCT
• Excellent negotiation and commercial skills
• Ability to manage multiple projects within fast-paced environments
• Strong attention to detail and commercial instinct
• Experience working closely with both operational and pre-construction teams

This role would suit someone from either a Tier 1 background or a smaller contractor where they've gained wider commercial exposure across projects.
