Quantity Surveyor - Structural Steel
Location: London
The Company
Steel that starts life in this workshop ends up holding up places people actually recognise - transport hubs, aviation structures, infrastructure that gets talked about in the news, and architectural pieces that become part of a skyline. The projects are specialist, the engineering is complex, and the order book keeps growing. What they need now is someone who can keep the commercial side tight while the work keeps moving.
The Role
You will run the numbers that keep these steel projects commercially sharp - from the first cost plan to the final account.
Build project budgets and cost plans that set the shape of each job
Track cash flow and keep forecasts honest as the work progresses
Manage commercial performance across multiple specialist steel packages
Control variations, valuations and commercial changes
Support contract administration and ensure compliance with the terms that matter
Work with project teams - PMs, estimators, engineering and site - to keep delivery and commercials aligned
This is not a generic building QS role. The work is steel, engineering‑heavy, and moves fast.

Strong commercial grounding - budgets, cost control, variations, forecasting
