Joshua Robert is partnering with a leading national contractor to appoint a Senior Quantity Surveyor or Managing Surveyor on one of the most significant regeneration projects on the south coast.
The scheme is a landmark commercial-to-residential conversion in the heart of Poole town centre. A high-profile development that will deliver hundreds of new homes within an iconic building whilst preserving its existing façade. Complex by nature, ambitious in scale, and very much in the public eye, this is the kind of project that defines a career.
You will join at the very start, taking sole commercial responsibility for the project from day one. That means leading all subcontract procurement and tendering, owning the full commercial cycle through CVRs, valuations, variations and subcontract accounts, and driving everything through to final account settlement. You will be the senior commercial presence on site and the primary commercial contact for the client, this is not a supporting role.
We are looking for a Senior QS or Managing Surveyor with a main contractor background on projects of £10m or above. You will need proven procurement experience, strong JCT Design & Build knowledge, and the confidence to lead client-facing commercial conversations at a senior level. MRICS is desirable but not essential, what matters is demonstrable experience on schemes of comparable scale and complexity. You must be based within commutable distance of Poole and able to commit to a full-time, site-based role from May 2026.
