Project Quantity Surveyor | Refurbishment Contractor | Hertfordshire
A growing refurbishment contractor is looking to add an Intermediate or Senior Quantity Surveyor as part of a planned expansion following a strong year and increased turnover.
This is a hands-on, commercially focused role, working predominantly on warehouse and industrial refurbishment projects, typically ranging from £500k to £3m, with a steady pipeline and repeat client base.
If you’re comfortable running your own projects, producing valuations, managing subcontractor accounts, and working closely with delivery teams, this is a solid long-term opportunity.

Projects primarily focused on warehouse and industrial refurbishments
Producing valuations, cost reports, CVRs, and final accounts
Managing subcontractor procurement, payments, and variations
Working closely with site teams and directors on commercial strategy
JCT-based contracts with straightforward scopes and programmes

What they’re looking for
Experienced Intermediate QS or recently stepped-up Senior QS
Background in refurbishment or fit-out works essential
Confident running projects with minimal supervision
Strong understanding of valuations, variations, CVRs, and final accounts
Commercially astute, organised, and comfortable managing multiple jobs
Professional and dependable — personality fit matters in a close-knit team
The Company
They are an established refurbishment contractor with £13m turnover last year, projecting £20m this year following continued growth.
