Senior Quantity Surveyor

Your new company
Our client is a national tier 1 contractor with a busy Scottish business who has picked up an extensive amount of work recently. Working from their Glasgow office, they are the preferred bidder on a range of publicly funded projects in the West and are now seeking to appoint a Senior QS to their commercial team to lead on one of these projects.


Your new role
As Senior Quantity Surveyor for this builder, you will be getting involved in your project at the preconstruction and procurement stage, assisting your client in developing a budget to get your project onto site. Working with your operational team in terms of buildability, design management and value engineering, your superior construction knowledge will allow you to produce an acceptable cost plan for your project to hit the park. Of course, once your project proceeds, you will then be involved in the commercial delivery of this project, from finalising subcontractor procurement to maintaining a positive commercial relationship with your client. Based across site, office and home, you will get the autonomy and independence to drive your project commercially.


What you'll need to succeed
Our client is a leading national contractor who has the balance sheet and reputation to consistently win interesting and challenging projects across both the private and public sectors. The ideal candidate will have experience in the delivery of projects within the educational, healthcare or commercial sectors, and you will have an understanding and direct experience of being part of a 2-stage tender process within the public sector. Reporting to the Commercial Director, you will have access to some of the most respected construction professionals in the industry in Scotland and this is a great opportunity for an ambitious QS to hone and develop their skill set with a premum contractor known for delivering exceptional projects.


What you'll get in return
Our client can offer an attractive and competitive salary with a comprehensive benefits package. They are a big believer in continuous professional development and training and this will allow you to continue your professional education whilst delivering high-profile projects which really benefit the community.
