The Opportunity: Why This Senior Quantity Surveyor Cheltenham role is Different
Stafford Lawrence Ltd is proud to act as the exclusive recruitment partner for this premier construction consultancy. Having worked with them for over 20 years, we have seen them grow from a regional specialist into a national leader. They are currently looking for a Senior Cost Consultant to join their Cheltenham office and play a pivotal role in their ongoing success.
This is not a role for someone who wants to be a "cog in the machine." We are seeking an individual with the professional maturity to work independently, yet the collaborative spirit to mentor junior surveyors and contribute to a vibrant office culture.
Your Role: Leadership and Autonomy
Reporting directly to the Associate Director of Quantity Surveying for the Gloucester practice, you will step into a position of responsibility from day one. Your day-to-day will involve:
1. Full Project Ownership: Managing costs from feasibility through to the final account.
2. Contractual Expertise: Applying your deep knowledge of JCT and NEC contracts to mitigate risk and maximize value.
3. Client Liaison: Building long-term relationships with developers and public sector clients.
4. Mentorship: Acting as a senior lead, helping junior team members reach their own professional milestones.
Why Choose This Firm?
The Gloucestershire office is known for its supportive, non-hierarchical culture. If you are looking for a firm that recognizes your achievements, provides a structured path to Associate Director, and genuinely values your work-life balance, this is it.
We are ideally seeking candidates based in or relocating to Gloucester, Cheltenham, or Tewkesbury. If you are currently working elsewhere in the UK and looking for a lifestyle shift to the beautiful Cotswolds, we are keen to hear from you.
Requirements
* Qualification: BSc or HND in Quantity Surveying or Commercial Management.
* Chartered Status: MRICS is preferred, but we welcome applicants who are 12–18 months away from completing their APC.
* Experience: 3–6 years within a reputable PQS or Construction Cost Consultancy.
* Technical Skills: Proficiency in industry-standard QS software and a strong grasp of project reporting.
* Logistics: A full clean UK driving licence is essential for site visits.
