Ready to step into a senior commercial role where your leadership genuinely shapes delivery?
A major UK property services contractor is seeking a Lead Quantity Surveyor to take ownership of a high-value, multi-project portfolio across Cheshire and the surrounding region. This is a pivotal role within a market-leading organisation, delivering work that directly improves homes, communities and public spaces.
This is a company where loyalty is genuinely rewarded and clear career paths are the norm, not the exception. People build long-term futures here. You’ll be based from a pleasant, well-located office with a very collegiate, supportive team culture around you.
You won’t just manage numbers, you’ll build people.
As Lead Quantity Surveyor, you’ll lead a relatively new team and actively develop them into a great team: high-performing, commercially sharp and proud of what they deliver. You’ll need to be a strong, visible leader, keen to mentor and develop trainees and graduates, helping shape the next generation of commercial talent.
You’ll have a very supportive Regional Manager, but they are not hands-on day to day. You’ll be trusted to manage your own diary, take the initiative, and lead with autonomy and confidence.
What’s in it for you:
* Clear progression within a business that genuinely invests in its people
* Competitive salary, bonus & car allowance
* Enhanced holiday entitlement
* Enhanced family leave
Project portfolio includes: Refurbishment, Passive Fire Protection and Retrofit & Energy Efficiency Programmes.
What you’ll be doing:
* Leading, mentoring, and shaping a team of surveyors, trainees and graduates
* Creating a positive, high-performance culture – turning a good team into a great one
* Owning financial performance across multiple contracts
* Managing tenders, CVRs, WIP, forecasting and risk
* Working closely with clients to build trusted partnerships
* Ensuring commercial KPIs and subcontractor payments are on point
What we’re looking for:
* BSc Honours Degree in Quantity Surveying
* 5+ years’ QS experience (planned maintenance / refurb / retrofit ideal)
* Proven multi-contract and high-volume delivery
* A natural leader who enjoys developing people
* Comfortable working with autonomy and setting your own priorities
* Strong commercial, analytical and negotiation skills
If you’re ready to lead from the front, take ownership, and build something lasting, this is your move.
