CV-LibraryBirmingham, West Midlands (County)permanentPosted: 10 August 2026
Apply NowAn ambitious, independent consultancy is growing its Birmingham team and looking for an experienced Quantity Surveyor who wants more than another corporate QS role.
You’ll join a Director-led, owner-managed business with a strong reputation, impressive client base and a varied pipeline across the built environment. With genuine responsibility from day one, you’ll have the opportunity to build relationships, lead projects and make your mark.
What you’ll be doing
• Own cost management across projects from inception to completion
• Provide proactive commercial and cost advice to clients
• Manage budgets, forecasts and financial reporting
• Work closely with clients, contractors, consultants and project teams
• Build trusted, long-term client relationships
• Support and mentor junior team members
• Contribute to projects across industrial, logistics, residential, commercial, retail, hospitality and infrastructure
What we’re looking for
• Strong Quantity Surveying experience within consultancy or a similar environment
• Proven experience managing projects commercially from start to finish
• Confident client-facing communication skills
• Strong commercial judgement and attention to detail
• A collaborative approach and willingness to support others
• MRICS or working towards chartership would be advantageous
Why this opportunity?
• High-profile clients and genuinely varied projects
• Direct access to Directors and senior decision makers
• Real ownership rather than being lost in layers of management
• A growing business where your contribution will actually be noticed
• Regular bonus opportunities
• Strong salary and benefits package
• Clear scope to develop your career as the business grows
The Birmingham team works predominantly from the office, typically four days per week, with projects spanning the Midlands and wider UK.
If you’re a strong QS who wants more responsibility, better exposure and a bigger say in your career, this could be the move you’ve been waiting for
