Quantity Surveyor
Salford, Greater Manchester
Up to £60,000 per annum
A leading specialist PFP / fire protection contracting division
We have an exciting opportunity for a Quantity Surveyor to join a specialist PFP (Passive Fire Protection) division that is scaling rapidly. You’ll step into a pivotal role from day one, owning the commercial function for PFP projects and shaping how we win, deliver, and grow. If you have PFP experience — or come from a Contracts Manager / Operations background with pricing strength — this could be your chance to lead and build something exceptional.
Opportunity
You will be the sole QS in the PFP division, holding full responsibility for pricing, commercial control, and margin delivery. As the business wins more work, there is scope to grow a small team and — eventually — step into a Commercial Manager role. You’ll be front and centre of the division’s growth, freeing up contract managers and senior leadership to focus on delivery and strategy.
Responsibilities
Take end-to-end ownership of pricing and cost estimating for PFP enquiries and tenders
Ensure accurate, proactive pricing that reflects risk, resource, and margin goals
Drive margin performance and commercial discipline across projects
Identify trends or root causes in returns or pricing losses (e.g. fire risk assessments or PFP-specific risk items)
Collaborate with Contracts Managers, design and operations teams to validate assumptions
Support negotiation with clients and subcontractors to protect commercial position
Monitor change control, variations, and ensure commercial clarity on all projects
Produce (or lead the production of) cost reports, forecasts, and commercial insights as needed
Mentor or recruit future team members as the division grows
What’s in it for you
You will lead the entire QS / pricing function for a PFP division — immediate autonomy and influence
A clear pathway to Commercial Manager as new work comes in
Supportive leadership wanting you to succeed, with resource and budget to expand
Exposure to a diverse pipeline of 24 live PFP projects across multiple sites
The chance to play a key role in shaping strategy, systems, and processes
Competitive salary up to £60,000 plus benefits
If you’re ready to bring your experience in construction / PFP / commercial management to a forward‑thinking company, we want to hear from you.
Apply today, and we will contact you within 3 working days if your application has been shortlisted.
