Our client, a well-established residential developer, is seeking an experienced Quantity Surveyor to join their team and take ownership of a key project in Southampton – a 104-unit new build development. Phases 1 and 2 have been successfully completed, and the company is now moving forward with Phase 3 following the previous contractor entering administration.
The building is already watertight, with internal fit-out works remaining — including kitchens, bathrooms, and finishing elements. This is a great opportunity to take a lead commercial role on a live, sizeable scheme and see it through to completion.
Key Responsibilities:
*
Oversee all commercial and cost management aspects of Phase 3.
*
Manage procurement of remaining packages and materials (kitchens, bathrooms, finishes, etc.).
*
Prepare, review, and negotiate sub-contractor orders and payments.
*
Conduct regular cost reporting and forecasting.
*
Work closely with the Project Manager and Site Team to ensure financial and contractual control.
*
Maintain strong communication with stakeholders, clients, and suppliers.
Requirements:
*
Proven experience as a Quantity Surveyor within the residential new build sector.
*
Strong knowledge of JCT contracts and procurement processes.
*
Ability to manage cost control and budgets effectively.
*
Excellent communication and negotiation skills.
*
Degree qualified in Quantity Surveying or a related discipline (preferred).
