The Sheridan Group is looking for an ambitious Senior Quantity Surveyor to join our commercial team as we enter the next stage of our growth.
This is a role for a QS who wants more than running jobs from a desk — you'll take genuine commercial ownership across live projects and have real visibility with senior management from day one.
About the Group
Sheridan is a growing, privately owned group of businesses spanning Construction & New Homes, Facilities Management, Scaffolding, Fire & Compliance, Waste Management and Concrete. We have ambitious growth plans, and our commercial team sits at the heart of them.
The Role
You will take commercial responsibility for a portfolio of projects across the Group. Key responsibilities:
- Manage projects commercially from tender through to final account
- Prepare and agree valuations, variations, applications for payment and final accounts
- Protect and improve project margins through accurate cost reporting and forecasting
- Manage subcontractor procurement, orders, payments and accounts
- Identify and manage contractual and commercial risk on live projects
- Support estimating and tender submissions on new opportunities
- Produce clear monthly CVRs and commercial reports for senior management
- Build strong working relationships with clients, consultants and supply chain
You will report to the senior commercial team with direct access to Group leadership.
Who We're Looking For
You may currently be a Senior QS, Project QS or an experienced QS ready to step up — most likely with a main contractor, regional contractor or specialist contractor.
You must have:
- A solid Quantity Surveying background in construction
- Strong knowledge of construction contracts (JCT/NEC) and commercial risk
- Full project lifecycle experience — tender through to final account
- Confident handling of valuations, variations, procurement and subcontractor accounts
- A track record of protecting project margins
- Strong communication and client-facing ability
The Opportunity
Sheridan is growing, and we promote from within. For the right individual there is a clear pathway to Managing QS and Commercial Manager level as the Group develops. Performance-related incentives and the full package will be discussed with strong candidates.
