Job description
About the Company and Role
An expanding fit-out contractor based in Edinburgh is seeking an experienced Quantity Surveyor. This company, led by a reputable and well-connected Director known for business growth and client relationships, aims for substantial expansion with a growing portfolio of projects. This role is more than a traditional Quantity Surveyor position; it offers a genuine career path to Commercial Manager and eventually Commercial Director, including potential ownership equity.
Key Responsibilities
- Estimate and price new fit-out opportunities accurately
- Prepare tenders, budgets, and commercial proposals
- Manage procurement processes and subcontractor relationships
- Oversee project costs, valuations, and variations
- Handle commercial management of ongoing fit-out projects
- Conduct forecasting and reporting responsibilities
- Manage final accounts efficiently
- Collaborate directly with clients, subcontractors, and operational teams
- Support the commercial strategy to foster business growth
Candidate Profile
The ideal candidate will have extensive Quantity Surveying experience, particularly within commercial fit-out, refurbishment, or interiors sectors, capable of managing both pre-construction estimating and project delivery aspects. The individual must possess strong commercial acumen, be ambitious, and demonstrate confidence in taking ownership while working alongside senior leaders. This role suits a Quantity Surveyor seeking increased responsibility and influence, potentially unavailable in their current role.
Benefits and Opportunities
- Competitive salary and attractive benefits package
- Clear progression pathway to Commercial Manager and Commercial Director roles
- Opportunity for future equity participation in the company
- Direct mentorship from an experienced, connected Director
- Exposure to both estimating and project management functions
- Significant autonomy and ability to shape the commercial function
- Flexible and mature work environment based in Edinburgh
- Possibility to become a key figure in the company’s leadership during its growth phase
