Turner Property Recruitment are working with a leading consultancy firm specialising in project management, quantity surveying, and delivering value-driven solutions across diverse sectors. Their team is dedicated to innovation, sustainability, and providing high-quality service to our clients.
The Role
We are seeking an experienced and dynamic Quantity Surveyor / Senior Quantity Surveyor to join our team. This role will involve providing cost management and contract administration services on a range of projects, from initial feasibility studies through to completion. You will be working closely with clients and internal teams to ensure projects are delivered on time, within budget, and to a high standard.
Although there will be support from members of the senior leadership team, the ideal candidate will be largely capable of working autonomously on delivering the quantity surveying service on a project.
There are already assistant and trainee quantity surveyors within our Birmingham Cost management team, and part of the role will be supporting these members of the team and equally having them support at peak times of any project.

* Conducting site visits and valuations.
* Managing change control and assessing variations.
* Preparing final accounts and overseeing project closure.
* Building strong relationships with clients, contractors, and internal teams.
Qualifications and Skills
* First Degree in Quantity Surveying or a related field. (Unless a solid demonstration of competence, we are not as keen on a recent master graduate with a non-cognate QS degree and little experience.)
* Already having achieved Chartered status (MRICS) or working towards the final stages of achieving it is preferred.
* Proven experience in quantity surveying roles, ideally within consultancy environments.
* Strong knowledge of construction contracts, including JCT and, if possible, NEC 4.
* Excellent communication and negotiation skills.
* Proficient in cost management software (we use Cost X) and Excel.
* Ability to work both independently and as part of a team.
* Strong organisational and time-management skills.
What They Offer
* Part of a team and company that is on a strong growth plan, demonstrated by three years of track record of this trajectory.
* Competitive salary and benefits package.
* Genuine opportunity for career development and professional growth.
* A collaborative and supportive working environment.
* Flexible working options.
* Private healthcare.
* Personal meal allowance for a partner, loved one, or friend.
* Involvement in exciting, high-profile projects, including healthcare, commercial, and public sector developments.
