About the Company

Our client is a well-established and growing fit-out and refurbishment contractor delivering high-quality commercial and residential interior projects across the UK. With a reputation built on craftsmanship, professionalism, and client satisfaction, the business provides a full turnkey service including fit-out, refurbishment, bespoke joinery, and interior solutions.

Operating across a range of sectors, the company has developed long-standing client relationships through consistently delivering projects to a high standard, on time and within budget. Due to continued growth and a strong pipeline of secured work, they are now looking to appoint an experienced Quantity Surveyor to support the commercial delivery of fit-out and refurbishment projects.

The Role

We are seeking an experienced Quantity Surveyor to join the commercial team delivering fit-out and refurbishment projects. This is an excellent opportunity for a commercially aware individual who is capable of managing projects independently and taking ownership of the commercial function from procurement through to final account.

The successful candidate will work closely with operational teams to ensure projects are commercially successful and delivered within budget. This role is purely Quantity Surveying focused, with no estimating responsibilities required.

* Prepare and maintain accurate cost reports, forecasts, and cash flow projections
* Monitor project costs and identify commercial risks and value engineering opportunities
* Ensure projects are delivered within budget while maintaining profitability
* Work closely with site and operational teams to ensure commercial objectives are achieved
* Ensure contractual compliance and effective administration of subcontract agreements
* Maintain accurate commercial records and documentation throughout the project lifecycle
* Support senior management with wider business and project objectives

Requirements

* Minimum 4 years' experience within a Quantity Surveyor role
* Previous fit-out and refurbishment experience is essential
* Strong understanding of construction contracts and commercial processes
* Proven experience managing subcontractor procurement and accounts
* Ability to manage project costs, reporting, and forecasting independently
* Must be able to work on own initiative and manage workloads effectively
* Commercially aware with strong negotiation and communication skills
* Stable career history preferred
* Degree qualified in Quantity Surveying or Commercial Management preferred
* Good IT skills including Excel and commercial reporting systems

Desirable:

* Experience working for a fit-out or refurbishment contractor
* Knowledge of JCT contracts
* Experience delivering projects across commercial or residential interiors sectors

Why Apply?

* Excellent opportunity to join a growing and well-established fit-out and refurbishment contractor
* Strong pipeline of secured projects
* Opportunity to take ownership of projects and work autonomously
* Supportive and collaborative team environment
* Clear progression and long-term career development opportunities
* Competitive salary and benefits package
