About the Role

Are you a Quantity Surveyor ready to take the next bold step? This is a rare opportunity to be the first Cost Manager in a thriving Birmingham office, with the full backing of a national powerhouse consultancy (no names—but you’ll know them!).

We’re looking for an Associate-level Cost Manager to establish and grow a new Quantity Surveying team, working alongside an already well-established Building Consultancy division.

The role:

  • Deliver key projects across industrial & logistics, commercial refurbishments, and BPSA
  • Work closely with the national cost management network and local project teams
  • Build a team around you, with fast-track promotion opportunities
  • Become a go-to expert for both new and existing clients in the region

What we’re looking for:

  • Solid experience in cost management/quantity surveying—preferably in consultancy
  • Strong technical knowledge across industrial, logistics, and commercial sectors
  • Excellent communication skills—confident in client-facing roles
  • MRICS qualified (or progressing towards chartership)

Why apply?

  • A chance to shape and lead a new team in a major regional market
  • Significant scope for career progression and leadership development
  • Support from a respected national team while having local autonomy
  • Competitive salary + benefits + bonus scheme

This is the perfect role for someone ambitious who’s ready to make their mark in the Midlands.

Interested? Let’s have a confidential chat today.
