- Description
- Senior Quantity Surveyor - Roofing Contractor
Fully Remote | UK Based
£70,000 to £85,000 Package
The Opportunity
We are partnering with one of the fastest growing roofing contractors in the UK, a business that has scaled rapidly through strong client relationships, consistent delivery and a modern approach to construction operations.
Currently operating at £30m turnover and on track to reach £50m, this is a company in genuine growth mode. With expansion comes opportunity, and they are now looking to appoint a Senior Quantity Surveyor to strengthen their commercial team.
One of the biggest attractions here is the working model. This is a fully remote role. The business operates nationally with a modern structure that trusts its people to deliver without unnecessary office time. For the right candidate, this offers real flexibility alongside career progression within a scaling contractor.
The Role of Senior Quantity Surveyor
Reporting to the Head of Commercial, you will work as part of an established commercial team managing the financial and contractual performance of multiple roofing and construction projects.
You will take ownership of contracts from set up through to final account, ensuring commercial control, profitability and compliance throughout the project lifecycle.
Key Responsibilities
• Liaise with clients and their representatives to ensure contract requirements are understood and delivered
• Manage valuations, CVRs, forecasts and internal reporting to strict deadlines
• Improve and protect contract profitability across live projects
• Prepare, submit and agree interim valuations and final accounts
• Procure subcontractors and negotiate commercially advantageous packages
• Value subcontract works and manage payment processes
• Monitor labour and material costs to maintain margin
• Work closely with project and site teams to maximise efficiency
• Identify, manage and agree variations and additional works
• Attend commercial and project meetings with internal teams, clients and subcontractors
• Resolve commercial and contractual issues proactively
• Ensure all contract administration and close out procedures are completed correctly
What We Are Looking For
• Minimum five years experience as a Quantity Surveyor within construction
• Strong commercial awareness and contract administration experience
• Confident managing valuations, variations and final accounts
• Good understanding of JCT and NEC forms of contract
• Strong communication skills and ability to manage client relationships
• Advanced Excel and general reporting capability
• Quantity Surveying or Commercial Management qualification
Desirable Experience
• Roofing or envelope contractor background
• New build or main contractor experience
• Experience procuring and managing subcontractors and direct trades
Why This Role Stands Out
• Fully remote working model
• One of the fastest growing contractors in its sector
• £30m turnover business scaling towards £50m
• Clear growth opportunities as the company expands
• Established leadership team with strong commercial structure
• Long term career progression rather than a static role
If you are a commercially driven Quantity Surveyor looking for flexibility, autonomy and genuine progression within a high growth contractor, this is an excellent opportunity to explore.
