About the Role

A leading international property consultancy is creating a new, high-profile leadership role to establish and grow its Quantity Surveying offer across the UK, starting in London.

This is a genuine build-from-the-top opportunity for a commercially astute Quantity Surveyor with a strong reputation, deep market relationships, and a proven ability to win work at scale.

The Opportunity

You will take responsibility for shaping the national Quantity Surveying strategy — setting direction, building capability, and driving sustainable growth. With strong foundations already in place, this role offers the autonomy and backing to create something meaningful, influential, and more importantly, rewarding.

Initial focus will be on London, leveraging existing client relationships and market presence, before expanding the team and service line nationally.

Key Responsibilities

  • Lead and deliver the national strategy for Quantity Surveying
  • Act as a senior work winner and business developer, securing major instructions
  • Build, mentor, and grow a high-performing QS team
  • Strengthen and expand key client relationships across complementary sectors
  • Collaborate with senior leadership to align QS with wider consultancy services
  • Represent the business externally at a senior, market-facing level

About You

  • Proven track record as a work winner within a UK consultancy environment
  • Experience building, growing, or significantly scaling a Quantity Surveying team
  • Strong London market presence with transferable client relationships
  • Strategic thinker with commercial acumen and leadership credibility
  • Background in sectors that complement a multi-disciplinary property consultancy
  • Entrepreneurial mindset, comfortable operating at board / leadership level

Why This Role?

  • Newly created, high-impact leadership position
  • Real autonomy to shape a national service line
  • Strong platform, brand, and client base to build from
  • Competitive senior package with long-term growth potential

All applications and enquiries will be handled in the strictest confidence.
