Overview
Freelance Senior QS/Commercial Manager - Special Projects Division - London. I have an urgent requirement for a Senior Quantity Surveyor or Commercial Manager to run multiple (2-5) projects from preconstruction (cost planning, estimating and pricing) through the construction process and to close out. The projects are varied - primarily fit out but also including minor infrastructure, refurb / build, decarbonisation and M&E etc. The role will involve preconstruction and procuring and managing principal / main contractors, so is a hybrid contractor / client side opportunity, which will suit an individual who has strong experience both pre and post-contract, preferably on fit out and / or refurb projects under £5m.
