Our client, a leading main contractor, is looking for a Senior Quantity Surveyor - or a Commercial Manager for the right candidate - to join their team on a landmark life science facility at One North Quay, Canary Wharf.

You'll take ownership of commercial management on a high-profile life science build, working closely with the operational team to protect and maximise contractual entitlements. Depending on experience, this role could suit someone ready to step up into a Commercial Manager position.

  • Prepare and submit applications, securing payment and variations
  • Manage subcontract accounts through to final account
  • Monitor progress and provide accurate commercial reporting
  • Support negotiation and settlement of the final account with the client
  • For CM-level candidates: broader oversight of the commercial team and project commercial strategy

What We're Looking For

  • Proven experience as a Quantity Surveyor within commercial/complex build environments
  • Experience working on life science, laboratory, or high-specification technical builds is highly advantageous
  • Degree/HNC level qualification and/or significant relevant experience
  • Experience managing change and subcontract accounts
  • Good working knowledge of JCT contracts, or bespoke contracts based on JCT principles
  • Candidates with Commercial Manager-level experience are encouraged to apply and will be considered for a higher package

Salary & Benefits

  • Salary negotiable, in line with similar senior commercial roles
  • £300 per month car allowance
  • Travel allowance
  • Project bonus scheme
  • 25 days holiday plus bank holidays
  • Pension with up to 8% employer contribution
  • Private healthcare
  • 24/7 employee assistance programme
  • Flexible benefits and discounts
  • Personal development programme
