Location: Bristol | Rate: £350 - £500 per day

A well-established main contractor is looking for a Senior Quantity Surveyor to take commercial ownership of a project or major project section in the Bristol area. You'll protect the commercial position on site, working closely with the delivery team and reporting to a Project Manager or Commercial Manager.

What you'll be doing:

* Leading procurement, subcontract administration and payment/valuation processes

* Managing cost control, CVR reporting and forecasting

* Identifying and managing risks, opportunities and contractual change

* Overseeing final accounts, variations and dispute resolution

* Supporting and developing junior commercial team members

* Liaising directly with clients and PQS to keep projects on track commercially

What we're looking for:

* Strong track record in a Senior QS role within main contracting

* Solid grasp of contractual, commercial, insurance and legal processes

* Confident managing procurement, subcontracts and final accounts end-to-end

* A proactive, numbers-driven approach with strong stakeholder relationships

* Ability to lead and develop others within a commercial team

Why apply:

Join a business that invests in its people and gives Senior QSs real autonomy - leading commercial strategy on live projects rather than just processing numbers. Freelance/contract role, day rate £350-£500 depending on experience
