You’ll work across a diverse portfolio of projects - from innovative commercial schemes to education, residential, industrial, and leisure developments - delivering expert cost consultancy advice and building long-term client relationships.

About the Role

As a Senior Quantity Surveyor (or Employer’s Agent), you’ll take ownership of multiple projects, driving commercial success from feasibility through to final account. You’ll act as a trusted advisor to clients, provide guidance to junior team members, and contribute to the continued growth and reputation of the Manchester office.

• Provide strategic commercial advice to clients and stakeholders.
• Support business development activities and help strengthen existing client relationships.
• Mentor and develop junior surveyors, fostering a culture of collaboration and excellence.
• Ensure all projects meet quality, time, and budget expectations while maintaining exceptional service standards.

We’re looking for someone who has:

• A degree in Quantity Surveying, Construction Cost Management, or related discipline.
• MRICS qualification (or close to achieving chartership).
• Proven consultancy/PQS experience delivering projects across relevant sectors.
• Excellent understanding of cost management principles, procurement, and contract administration (JCT / NEC).
• Strong client-facing, communication, and negotiation skills.
• Ability to manage and lead multiple projects independently.
• A full UK driving licence and willingness to travel as required.

What’s on Offer

• A collaborative, people-first consultancy culture with no corporate red tape.
• Structured career progression, with clear routes to Associate level and beyond.
• Chartership support and ongoing professional development.
• Competitive salary and benefits package, including performance-related bonus.
• Exposure to meaningful, community-focused projects across multiple sectors.
• Hybrid working and genuine flexibility to support work–life balance.
