Senior Quantity Surveyor | Super-Prime Residential | Perm or Freelance
An opportunity has come about with a well-established contractor delivering high-end residential refurbishments and new builds across Prime Central London, due to continued growth and a strong pipeline of secured work.

Specialist contractor operating within the super-prime residential market
• Projects across Mayfair, Belgravia, Chelsea, Kensington
• Schemes typically £5m–£25m+, including cut & carve, basement construction, and high-spec finishes
• Strong reputation with private clients, developers, and leading architects
• Close-knit, delivery-focused team with repeat business and long-term relationships
The Role
Full commercial responsibility on super-prime residential schemes
• Managing projects from pre-construction through to final account
• Procurement of subcontract packages and supply chain management
• Running CVRs, cash flow, and cost reporting
• Managing variations, change control, and contract administration
• Working closely with Project Managers, Directors, and high-end clients
What they’re looking for
Proven experience as a Senior QS / strong Project QS within a contractor environment
• Background delivering high-end residential, refurb, or cut & carve schemes
• Comfortable in detail-driven, client-facing environments
• Strong understanding of JCT contracts and commercial processes
• Someone who takes ownership — able to run jobs, not just report on them
Why this role
Exposure to some of the most high-spec residential schemes in London
• Strong pipeline — genuine long-term work, not a one-job hire
• Flexible offering — permanent or freelance considered
• Environment where individuals are trusted to take ownership and progress
