Quantity Surveyor

About you If you re an experienced Quantity Surveyor with a background in fit out and refurbishment, this could be a really interesting opportunity if you re looking for something with a bit more ownership. The business is building its presence in Scotland and is looking for a QS who can play an important part in that growth. You ll be joining a small team initially, so you won t simply be one of several Quantity Surveyors doing the same job. You ll have plenty of visibility and the opportunity to make a genuine contribution as the operation develops. The work will be predominantly high end commercial and office fit out, so you ll need to understand the commercial demands of delivering quality projects in this market. You ll be comfortable taking responsibility for your own projects and working closely with the operational team from the early stages through to final account. Your experience You ll need solid experience as a Quantity Surveyor within fit out and refurbishment. Experience across commercial interiors, office fit out or high end fit out would be particularly relevant. You ll understand procurement, subcontractor packages, cost planning, valuations, variations, CVRs and final accounts. You ll be comfortable managing the commercial performance of projects and making sure costs and margins are properly controlled throughout. You ll need to be commercially confident, organised and comfortable working with a degree of autonomy. As the Scottish operation is still relatively new, you ll need to enjoy being part of a small team and be prepared to get involved rather than working within a heavily structured commercial department. It would also be useful if you ve built relationships within the Scottish fit out and refurbishment market. You don t need to be a salesperson, although having an established network and knowing the local subcontractor and supplier market would certainly be beneficial.
