About the Role

We are a leading specialist fa ade contractor with an immediate requirement for an experienced freelance Quantity Surveyor to support our commercial team on a live London project.

This is a hands-on, procurement-focused role . Working closely as a No. 2 alongside a Senior QS, your primary objective will be to take full ownership of subcontract procurement packages, drive output, and significantly relieve workload for the wider team. We need someone who loves the detail and thrives on hitting procurement milestones.

Key Responsibilities

  • End-to-End Subcontract Procurement: Manage the full cycle including issuing enquiries, analyzing tender returns, producing detailed comparisons, negotiating terms, and final order placement.

  • Package Management: Concurrently manage and drive multiple work packages (prior fa ade or cladding experience is highly beneficial).

  • Materials Coordination: Support the supply chain through to site delivery by tracking key materials against the project programme, liaising with suppliers/subcontractors, and ensuring total alignment with site requirements.

What We Are Looking For

  • Experience: 3-8 years of QS experience working with either a Main Contractor or a Specialist Subcontractor.

  • Procurement Strength: Heavy, hands-on subcontract procurement experience is absolutely essential.

  • Technical Skills: Advanced Excel capability with a sharp eye for detailed tender comparison and analysis.

  • Team Fit: Comfortable and confident operating in a support/No. 2 capacity within an established commercial team.

Who This Role Is Not Suited For

To save your time and ours, please note this role is not suitable for:

  • Senior QSs or Commercial Managers looking to lead projects or operate at a strategic level.

  • Candidates who prefer high-level oversight and are uncomfortable getting stuck into the granular detail of procurement.

  • Admin-only procurement profiles or traditional buyers without robust QS commercial grounding.
