Kier Places are recruiting now for a Senior Quantity Surveyor to join our passionate Capital Projects Team and assist on a portfolio of predominantly recladding high-rise building projects. These initial projects will be based in Canning Town and Canary Wharf, with values ranging from £2 million to £9 million, which by their nature are safety critical construction works and involve significant fire and general safety risk.
This is a newly formed team specialising in this new workstream, which has huge long-term growth opportunity - we're looking for an individual who has a passion for the project at hand, who's able to work as part of a closely knit team that has the opportunity to develop and control its own destiny.
Key Responsibilities
As a Senior Quantity Surveyor with Kier Capital Projects, you will be part of a small team dedicated to the delivery process of two stage and single stage cladding opportunities. Reporting to the Commercial Manager, you will be responsible for commercially managing all aspects of these opportunities / projects and your key responsibilities will be to manage the client account, effectively manage costs, drive profitability, and manage risk in a safe, effective & ethical manner
The Senior Quantity Surveyor will oversee the appointment and management of subcontractors for successful delivery of cost, quality and duration, have accountability for pricing of additional works, resolve any contractual issues from our client and supply chain; and take ownership of Value Cost Reconciliation, forecasts, financial reports and contract reviews, to produce the required Commercial Plans in line with our Business Plan.
We encourage flexible working wherever possible in your role - and this may allow you to work from home or from one of our other offices/sites, if appropriate. The cladding team will be based in the Basingstoke office, so frequent travel to that location will be required alongside site visits into London.
What do we need from you?
The successful Senior Quantity Surveyor candidate should have a relevant Quantity Surveying qualification; have membership of, or working towards, a relevant professional qualification or chartered status; have solid experience relevant to the commercial management of multi-discipline projects; extensive commercial / procurement management experience that can be implemented in projects; and can demonstrate good general Construction, Health & Safety legislation knowledge and best practices.

You'll need to be a commercially focused, self-motivated individual who can manage the full process, lead a team, and execute our vision.
