Senior Quantity Surveyor
Salary: £85,000 – £95,000 (DOE) + travel + benefits
Location: Shoreditch, London (site-based)
 
Headlines
Ready to lead the numbers on a project with real character? A fantastic opportunity has opened up for a Senior Quantity Surveyor to take the commercial lead on a £5m high-spec hotel refurbishment in the heart of Shoreditch. The project includes roof repairs and waterproofing, internal upgrades, and the fit-out of a luxury spa area—a technically interesting scheme in one of London’s most creative neighbourhoods.
If you're a commercially sharp QS who wants greater ownership, variety, and the chance to deliver something unique—you’ll want to take a closer look.
 
Your Next Job – What You’ll Be Doing
You’ll be the go-to commercial lead on-site, with day-to-day responsibility for:

Managing budgets, forecasts, valuations, and final accounts
Leading procurement and placing orders with the right subcontractors and suppliers
Handling variations and change management with confidence and clarity
Keeping the cash flow in check—raising invoices, approving payments, and keeping things moving
Working closely with the PM and site team to ensure the job runs smoothly, on time and on budget
Liaising with the client and design team to keep everyone aligned and informed
Mentoring an Assistant QS/Financial Manager and bringing them along with you
Providing accurate commercial reporting and updates to senior leadership Why This Project Stands Out
This isn’t just another fit-out project. It’s a creative, design-led hotel refurbishment that blends structural upgrades with luxury interiors. You’ll be working on roof repair and waterproofing, upgrading internal areas, and fitting out a bespoke spa zone—so expect detailed finishes, tricky logistics, and plenty of scope to show what you can do.
It’s based in Shoreditch, offering a lively location, great coffee, and a short walk from the station. You’ll be the commercial lead with a strong delivery team around you—and the freedom to really make the role your own while bedding into the business – and there’s plenty of work in the pipeline for you to move onto after this project!
 
About the Company
You’ll be joining a top-tier fit-out and construction specialist that’s known for delivering high-end refurbishments and complex projects across London. Their portfolio includes luxury residential, boutique hotels, creative workspaces, and premium leisure facilities.
The business has a professional but friendly culture—they take pride in their work, look after their people, and genuinely support development and progression. It’s a place where you’re given room to grow, not micromanaged.
 
What We’re Looking For

5+ years' experience as a QS, ideally in fit-out or high-quality refurb
Experience managing commercial aspects from start to finish on your own schemes
Strong with JCT contracts and cost reporting
Confident communicator—comfortable with clients, subs, and your own team
A proactive mindset with attention to detail and pride in your work
A relevant degree or qualification (or time-served equivalent) What’s in It for You

£85,000 – £95,000 salary depending on experience
Travel covered and a solid benefits package
A project you can own and be proud of
The chance to work with a knowledgeable, supportive team
