Senior Quantity Surveyor
Shape Commercial Excellence in a Growing, Purpose-Driven Business
About Innova
At Innova, we design and fit out complex care environments with specialist equipment, fixtures and furniture - all supported by ongoing servicing and maintenance. Our projects are created to genuinely enhance the lives of those who live and work in these spaces.
Our brand promise is simple: sophisticated, functional design that is as practical as it is beautiful. Every detail matters. Every environment has purpose.
As we continue to grow, we're looking for a Senior Quantity Surveyor to play a key role in shaping our commercial future.
The Opportunity
This is more than a traditional QS position. You'll be a commercial leader within our Major Works and expanding Hydrotherapy divisions, taking full ownership of cost planning, estimating and commercial management across the project lifecycle.
Initially, you'll help strengthen and scale our Hydrotherapy division, while also embedding best practice and commercial discipline across the wider business. You'll have real influence - not just managing numbers, but shaping standards, guiding decisions and supporting sustainable growth.
If you enjoy leading from the front, building strong relationships and driving commercial performance with confidence, this role offers genuine impact and progression.

* Present cost build-ups confidently and credibly to clients
* Prepare Bills of Quantities, schedules of rates and tender documentation
Procurement & Tendering
* Lead fair and robust tender evaluations
* Negotiate commercially sound agreements
* Build long-term, trusted relationships with contractors and suppliers
Post-Contract Commercial Management
* Oversee contract administration (JCT, NEC and similar frameworks)
* Monitor costs, variations and financial performance throughout delivery
* Manage claims and dispute resolution professionally, protecting commercial outcomes
Leadership & Collaboration
* Provide commercial insight to Delivery, Design and Project Management teams
* Drive consistency and best practice across the business
* Mentor and support junior colleagues
* Represent Innova with credibility and professionalism in client and supplier interactions
What We're Looking For
* Strong experience managing the full commercial lifecycle of construction or fit-out projects
* Proven knowledge of JCT, NEC or similar contracts
* Commercial awareness and confident negotiation skills
* Strong analytical ability and attention to detail
* The ability to work independently while thriving as part of a team
* Proficiency with relevant IT systems and commercial tools
* Ideally RICS accreditation
* A full UK driving licence
Who You Are
You're commercially astute, detail-oriented and confident in your decision-making. You care about quality and take pride in delivering cost certainty and strong financial outcomes.
You value collaboration, integrity and long-term relationships. You bring energy, professionalism and a positive mindset - and you're motivated by being part of a growing business where your influence truly matters.
Why Join Innova?
* Play a pivotal role in a growing specialist division
* Influence commercial standards across the business
* Work on meaningful projects that enhance lives
* Join a supportive, values-driven team
* Enjoy real scope to shape, lead and grow with the company
