Full Job Description

As a Quantity Surveyor, you will provide the commercial leadership that underpins project delivery, cost certainty and business performance. Working within our flexible hybrid model, you will balance office-based commercial management with regular site engagement collaborating closely with Construction, Development, Land, Planning and Design teams to maximise value across every development.

Your expertise will ensure robust financial control, accurate forecasting, effective procurement and proactive risk management throughout the development lifecycle. Through strong commercial influence, you will help shape smarter decisions, optimise build costs and support the successful delivery of high-quality developments.

Why You Will Enjoy Working With Us

Real Impact: Your commercial expertise directly influences project profitability, performance and delivery success.

Strategic Involvement: Play a key role in procurement, value engineering, design development and business decision-making.

Variety Every Day: Balance commercial management, site engagement, stakeholder collaboration and negotiation.

Collaborative Environment: Work closely with Development, Construction, Design, Land and Planning teams across a national business.

Career Progression: Develop your commercial leadership capability within a growing and ambitious organisation.

We are looking for a Quantity Surveyor to provide commercial leadership across the development lifecycle, driving cost certainty, value creation and successful project outcomes.

Based from our Altrincham office and overseeing developments across the North West, this is a commercially focused opportunity for an experienced Quantity Surveyor to take ownership of the commercial performance of multiple residential developments from procurement through to final account.

You will bring proven Quantity Surveying experience within residential development, housebuilding, contracting or consultancy, with a strong working knowledge of JCT forms of contract and the ability to manage the commercial delivery of at least three live contracting sites simultaneously. You will understand how design, procurement and construction decisions influence programme, cost, risk and profitability, with experience of Housing Associations, affordable housing or Joint Venture partnerships viewed favourably.

Confident leading tender processes, negotiating subcontract agreements and developing strong supply chain relationships, you'll produce accurate budgets and forecasts, manage commercial risk, control variations and identify value engineering opportunities that improve project performance while protecting commercial outcomes.

A credible and collaborative communicator, you'll build effective relationships with site teams, consultants, subcontractors and external partners, using sound commercial judgement and a proactive approach to influence successful project delivery.

A degree in Quantity Surveying or a RICS-accredited discipline is desirable, together with a valid CSCS card. Professional membership of RICS, or progress towards chartership, would be advantageous.
