Description

Managing Quantity Surveyor – London / Kent
Fast-Track to Commercial Manager (12 Months) | £30M Framework | Hybrid 1–2 Days
If you're a high-performing Senior Quantity Surveyor or Managing Quantity Surveyor frustrated by slow progression, limited autonomy, or ceiling-level roles — this is the move.

A market-leading Tier 1 Civil Engineering Contractor with £100M+ per annum secured across London & Kent is looking for a commercially astute Managing Quantity Surveyor ready to step into real leadership.

This is not just another MQS role.
This is a structured succession plan to Commercial Manager within 12 months.


What You’ll Control
£50M utilities & infrastructure workstream
Direct management of 5 Quantity Surveyors
Full NEC3 / NEC4 commercial ownership
Strategic input alongside senior operational leadership
Long-term London & Kent framework security
You won’t be micromanaged. You’ll be trusted.


Why This Role Stands Out
Clear promotion pathway signed off at board level
Major South East infrastructure pipeline
Hybrid working (1–2 days office)
Tier 1 contractor credibility
Strong margins and commercially mature environment
Genuine autonomy, not just title inflation

Who This Suits
Senior Quantity Surveyor ready for Managing QS level
Managing Quantity Surveyor blocked from Commercial Manager progression
Strong NEC background in civil engineering/utilities
Ambitious, commercially sharp, leadership-focused

High performers don’t stay available for long in the London & Kent market.
