Key Responsibilities
As our Senior Quantity Surveyor you will be part of a small team dedicated to the pre-construction and delivery process of either two stage or single stage opportunities. You will be expected to commercially manage all aspects of these opportunities / projects and your key responsibilities will be to manage the upstream Client account, effectively manage costs, drive profitability, manage risk in a safe, effective and ethical manner; and be responsible for identifying new commercial opportunities in the area and managing relationships with the Client and the appointed professional team.
