Are you ready to elevate your career? We're excited to share a fantastic opportunity for a Senior Quantity Surveyor to join our dynamic Refresh division, specialising in Refurbishment and Building Improvement. This isn't your typical Senior Quantity Surveyor role. Within Refresh, you'll be involved in the commercial journey of each project from the very first estimation stage all the way through to completion. Our work spans everything from building envelope and internal fire compartmentation projects to full room and amenity space refurbishments. This role is able to offer: Varied Workload: Contribute to a wide range of projects that will challenge, motivate, and develop you. Full Project Lifecycle Engagement: Play a key role at every stage, shaping outcomes from start to finish. This is a pivotal moment for Refresh, with significant growth on the horizon. By joining us now, you'll have the opportunity to influence our direction, support our expansion, and help us deliver exceptional results for our clients as part of a strong, committed team. While we have offices and hubs across the UK available for use, this role is primarily home-based, with travel to sites and offices as needed for collaboration with project teams, your line manager, and senior leaders. About you: To be successful in this role you will need to possess a blend of formal education and hands-on experience, complemented by a proactive approach to professional development. You'll need to demonstrate a good understanding of the industry, along with the ability to effectively manage and deliver projects. The nature of this roles means that we are looking for a person who has sufficient experience and self-discipline to work autonomously to complete the required tasks and have the confidence and ability to contact all team and project stakeholders to ensure actions are completed. Experience of working within the QS function on new build projects would be desirable to allow for an understanding of the construction technology, procurement and CVR process. Experience working specifically on reclad or refurbishment projects would also be advantageous. Why Choose Watkin Jones Group?
