Quantity Surveyor

Quantity Surveyor Building Consultancy Kent £45,000 to £52,000 + Benefits

I'm working with a well-regarded, independently run building and property consultancy based near Tonbridge who are looking to recruit an experienced Quantity Surveyor into the team. This is a genuine opportunity to join a tight-knit, professional team where your workload is varied, your development is taken seriously, and you're not just a number.

The Role

Joining as a Quantity Surveyor, you'll be embedded in live projects from day one, working across the full cost management lifecycle. Day to day, you can expect to be involved in:

• Preparation of cost plans, estimates, and feasibility studies
• Procurement support and tender documentation
• Contract administration and post-contract cost control
• Valuation and final account preparation
• Client and design team liaison across multiple concurrent projects

What They're Looking For

My client is keen to hear from QSs who have built their experience on the consultancy or client-side - someone who understands what it means to act as a trusted advisor rather than just a number-cruncher. Specifically, you'll need:

• 2-3 years PQS and working towards MRICS status
• A background in consultancy or client-side QS roles within the UK building sector
• Solid exposure across the pre- and post-contract stages
• Strong communication skills and confidence liaising directly with clients
• The commercial awareness and professional judgement to work with a degree of autonomy

Why Consider This?

Smaller consultancies often offer something the big nationals can't - genuine variety, real client exposure, and the chance to develop broad QS skills rather than being siloed into one stage of a project. The position also offers the support of an experienced and friendly team and a generous salary & package that includes:

• Starting salary of £45,000 to £52,000
• Travel allowance of £5,000
• 25 days leave + bank holidays
• Private healthcare
• Pension contributions

If you're a qualified QS with consultancy experience who feels like a small cog in a large machine, this could be the right move.

If this sounds like the kind of role you've been looking for, get in touch for a confidential conversation. I'm happy to share more detail before you decide whether to put yourself forward.
