This is an exciting opportunity for a hungry Quantity Surveyor to further their career by working on London's flagship hospitality projects.

Role Summary:

• Leading pre- and post-contract quantity surveying duties across luxury refurbishment projects.
• Prepare detailed cost plans, feasibility studies, bills of quantities, tender packs, and procurement documentation.
• Develop and advise on procurement strategies and contract terms.
• Manage valuations, interim payments, subcontractor payments, cost reporting, and cash flow forecasts.
• Oversee variations, change orders, claims, and final account negotiations.
• Work closely with the Senior QS, Project Managers, design teams, subcontractors, and senior leadership to ensure commercial control and contract compliance.
• Provide commercial advice to internal teams and clients, including budgeting, risk management, and value engineering opportunities.
• Power business development by compiling bids, tenders, and cost proposals.
• Ensure all commercial work aligns with best practice, company standards, and relevant contract forms (typically JCT).

Essential Skills and Experience:

• Degree or HND in Quantity Surveying or related field.
• 7+ years' experience in a QS role.
• Strong knowledge of construction methods, procurement routes, and standard forms of contract (e.g. JCT).
• Proven experience managing valuations, variations, cost forecasting, commercial reporting, and final accounts.
• Excellent negotiation, communication, and client management skills.
• Ability to manage all commercial aspects of multiple projects with competing deadlines simultaneously.
• Highly organised, detail-focused, and proactive.
• Experience within the one-off hospitality, super-prime, ultra-luxury, or heritage refurbishment sector.
• Ability to prepare fee proposals and support tender submissions.
• Familiarity with cost-management software (CostX, Bluebeam, etc.).
• Ability to review design proposals relative to contract obligations and advice on potential cost adjustment.
• Must be able to procure packages with design intent drawings whilst managing cost adjustments during any design development in line with planned site progress.

Why Join Our Client:

• Salary: £75,000 - £80,000 per annum.
• Opportunity to work on some of London's most prestigious high-end projects with international brands.
• Autonomy and responsibility to lead the commercial function on complex, bespoke builds.
