Building Services Quantity Surveyor / Assistant BSQS
Location: West End, London Salary: Competitive, based on experience
The Business
This main contractor is a London-based construction company specializing in new build, refurbishment, and fit-out projects. We have a first-class track record in the leisure, commercial, residential, hospitality, government, and education sectors, with a particular strength in restoring and remodelling historic and listed buildings.
Since our formation in 2005, we have focused on producing a fantastic product rather than simply chasing turnover. We pride ourselves on a "hands-on" leadership style, a loyal supply chain, and a collaborative culture where staff are encouraged to develop long-term careers.
The Role
We are seeking both a Building Services Quantity Surveyor (BSQS) and an Assistant BSQS to support the procurement and financial management of complex Building Services packages on projects ranging from £1m to £30m.
You will work across the full project lifecycle—from feasibility to post-construction—managing packages including Mechanical (BMS/Public Health), Electrical, Life Safety Systems, AV, IT, Security, and Lifts.
Key Responsibilities
* Feasibility & Proposal: Assist in initial cost planning, site visits, and developing "winning" tender strategies.
* Pre-construction: Produce procurement strategy documents, prepare trade package pricing schedules, carry out tender analysis, and issue purchase orders.
* Construction Phase: Manage change orders, track the impact of architectural changes on services packages, and prepare periodic valuations.
* Financial Reporting: Maintain a "no-surprise" approach by updating monthly cost reports and ensuring accurate internal and external reporting.
* Post-construction: Agree final accounts with trade contractors and compile historical cost reports for future reference.
The Ideal Candidate
* Collaborative: Able to build strong, long-term relationships with clients, consultants, and the supply chain.
* Detail‑Oriented: A commitment to "Attention to Detail" (ATD) in all financial matters.
* Proactive: Highly organized and prepared to act on problems immediately rather than letting them fester.
* Supportive: A team player who is helpful, practical, and willing to mentor less experienced members.
