Quantity Surveyor in Ruislip, London

Job Title: Senior Quantity Surveyor (Step-Up Opportunity)

Location: Ruislip, West London (and surrounding sites)

Contract Type: Temp-to-Perm (Initial temporary contract leading to a permanent salaried role after a few months)

Salary/Rate: £400 - £460 Inside IR35 DOE

We are a highly successful, premium facade company with an impressive annual turnover of £20 million. We pride ourselves on delivering top-tier, high-end facade solutions across the industry. Due to an incredibly busy pipeline of upcoming projects and sustained growth, we are looking to expand our commercial team.

Are you an ambitious Quantity Surveyor looking for that next big step up in your career?

We are looking for a proactive, highly motivated QS who is ready to make the jump to Senior Quantity Surveyor. This is a "temp-to-perm" position, meaning you will start on a temporary basis to hit the ground running and prove your capabilities, with a guaranteed transition to a permanent contract and a lucrative salary after a few months for the right person.

While a background in facades or the building envelope is a fantastic bonus, it is not our main priority.

We hire for attitude. The absolute key to securing this role is your personality, drive, and work ethic. We are a fast-paced, busy company, and we need someone who is keen, proactive, and ready to take the bull by the horns.

Key Responsibilities:

• Taking commercial ownership of premium facade projects from inception to final account.

• Managing CVRs, forecasting, valuations, and variations.

• Procurement and management of sub-contractors.

• Working closely with the operational and project management teams to ensure projects are delivered profitably and to our premium standards.

• Identifying commercial risks and opportunities on active projects.

• Stepping up to mentor and guide junior members of the commercial team as you grow into the Senior role.

The Ideal Candidate:

• Experience: Currently a capable QS looking for a step-up, or a recently established Senior QS looking for a new challenge.

• Personality: Outstanding work ethic, driven, proactive, and a keen problem-solver. You don't wait to be told what to do; you make things happen.

• Location: Ideally located in or within an easily commutable distance to Ruislip.

• Bonus: Previous experience within the facade, glazing, or building envelope sector is advantageous but not essential.

• Ambition: Someone looking for a long-term home where they can build a career.

Why Join Us?

• Progression: This isn't just a job; it's a career move. As a growing £20m turnover business, there is massive room for genuine career progression and internal promotion.

• Security & Reward: Prove yourself during the initial temporary period and secure a highly competitive permanent salary and package.

• Culture: Work within a premium, high-achieving environment where hard work and a great attitude are quickly recognized and rewarded.

How to Apply: If you have the drive, the commercial acumen, and the ambition to step up to a Senior QS role with a premium market leader, we want to hear from you. Please submit your CV and a brief cover letter outlining why you are ready for this step up.
