Quantity Surveyor – Higher Education & Residential Projects

London | £40,000–£55,000 + Benefits

Conrad Consulting is working with a highly respected, forward-thinking construction consultancy to appoint a Quantity Surveyor to their growing London team. This is an excellent opportunity for an ambitious QS—ideally MRICS or working toward chartership—to take on a diverse portfolio of meaningful, design-led projects.

You’ll play a key role across a blend of university and residential schemes, contributing to projects that genuinely shape communities and enhance the built environment. The work spans:

• University estates – refurbishment, re-purposing and modernisation of academic and research facilities

• Residential developments – a mix of high-end towers and local authority housing programmes

This role offers the chance to work with clients who value quality, collaboration and long-term relationships, while gaining exposure to both complex refurbishments and large-scale new-build schemes.

• Deliver cost management services across all project stages

• Prepare cost plans, estimates, tender documentation and contract administration

• Support senior team members on major schemes while independently managing smaller projects

• Engage confidently with clients, design teams and contractors

• Contribute to best-practice processes and continuous improvement within the team

• Ideally MRICS, or progressing toward chartership

• Experience in residential and/or education projects, particularly refurb or re-purposing

• Strong commercial awareness and a proactive, detail-driven approach

• Confident communicator who enjoys client interaction

• Keen to develop professionally within a supportive, high-performing consultancy
