About you
You are a Quantity Surveyor who knows your way around fitout projects and enjoys seeing a job through from start to finish. You take pride in keeping projects financially on track and you are comfortable having honest conversations when numbers need challenging. You like being close to the detail while still understanding the bigger commercial picture. You are probably at a stage where you want more ownership and the chance to work on projects you can actually be proud of.
Your experience
You have at least three years working as a Quantity Surveyor within the fitout or interiors sector. You understand cost management, procurement and contract administration in a live project environment. You have experience managing budgets, handling variations and keeping cash flow under control. You are confident dealing with subcontractors and suppliers and you know how to protect margin without damaging relationships. A relevant degree helps, and any professional membership such as RICS is a bonus rather than a requirement.
What you will be doing with your experience
You will be taking ownership of the commercial side of hospitality fitout projects, from early cost planning through to final account. You will prepare detailed cost estimates, manage budgets and keep a close eye on spend as projects move forward. You will handle contracts and subcontracts, making sure everything is clear, fair and commercially sound. Procurement will be a key part of your role, from tendering packages through to appointing and managing subcontractors. You will also be responsible for cost reporting, forecasting and managing project cash flow. You will be working closely with project managers and the wider team, attending site meetings and making sure the financial side of each job is always under control.

The culture is supportive and collaborative, with people who take their work seriously without making it overly complicated.
