Director Quantity Surveyor

Director - Quantity Surveying

London | £115k - £130k base + equity (up to 7.5%) + package

A well-established multinational, multidisciplinary consultancy with an excellent reputation in its field is looking for a Director to lead and grow its London Quantity Surveying team.

The opportunity

QS is currently one of the smaller functions in the business, with a team of 7 in London, and the leadership is committed to changing that. This is a chance to take ownership of a team with strong backing, a healthy pipeline and a respected brand behind it, and shape it into something significantly bigger.

The team is busy, so there is no pressure to win work from day one. What they do want is someone with a strong network and a clear plan for bringing new clients on board and growing the team over time.

Current work spans residential, commercial and hotels. The business is very open to moving into new sectors, including public sector work and new frameworks, so you will have real freedom to set the direction.

Equity from the outset

For the right person, equity is on the table from the start, which is rare at this level:

• Tranche 1: options over 5% after year 1
• Tranche 2: options over a further 2.5% after year 2

That is the opportunity to own 7.5%, linked primarily to the performance of the QS business, against a growth plan you agree together with the leadership team.

The package

• £115,000-£130,000 base salary
• £10,000 signing-on bonus
• £12,000 pension contribution
• Equity options as above

About you

• An established Director or Associate Director ready to step up, from a consultancy QS background
• A strong network across London, and a credible plan for turning it into new clients
• Experience leading, developing and growing a team
• Background in residential, commercial or hotels, with experience in public sector or frameworks a real advantage
• MRICS qualified
• Commercially minded, with the drive to build something of your own inside an established business
