Lead Quantity Surveyor - Fire Protection

Swaffham / East Anglia / Northern Home Counties

Salary: £60,000 – £70,000 plus car allowance, fuel card and up to 25 % bonus. Permanent | Senior Commercial Role.

Are you an experienced Quantity Surveyor, Senior Quantity Surveyor, Lead Quantity Surveyor or Commercial Surveyor looking for a role with genuine ownership, visibility and progression? This is a standout opportunity to join a growing fire protection and property services branch delivering reactive works, planned contracts and project‑led schemes across East Anglia and the Northern Home Counties.

The branch has already achieved strong growth, with turnover of around £9.4 m last year and an expected exceedance of £10 m this year. You will step into a key senior commercial role, taking ownership of commercial performance across multiple workstreams while working closely with operational teams and senior management.

As Lead Quantity Surveyor you will manage the commercial side of a varied and fast‑moving branch workload – from reactive maintenance and smaller works to major client accounts, public sector frameworks and longer‑term contracts.

• Lead the branch commercial function
• Manage commercial performance across multiple workstreams
• Prepare, review and complete month‑end CVRs
• Run regular CVRs across live contracts
• Price works and support tender submissions
• Manage invoicing, valuations, variations and final accounts
• Monitor cost control, profitability and commercial risk
• Track reactive and project‑led works commercially
• Produce accurate commercial reports
• Work closely with operational and branch teams
• Support improved branch performance
• Help develop junior commercial staff

We are looking for a commercially strong Quantity Surveyor who can confidently take ownership of a branch‑level commercial function. Fire protection, passive fire, fire doors or fire stopping experience would be useful, but is not essential. The priority is strong Quantity Surveying experience, commercial accuracy, CVR confidence and the ability to manage multiple contracts, accounts and workstreams in a busy operational environment.

Relevant backgrounds could include fire protection, passive fire, reactive maintenance, property services, social housing, planned works, refurbishment, construction, public sector frameworks, healthcare, education or leisure‑sector works.

• Strong Quantity Surveying experience
• Experience managing commercial performance
• CVR and month‑end reporting experience
• Pricing, invoicing and valuation experience
• Variations, final accounts and cost control knowledge
• Ability to manage varied project values and contract types
• Strong attention to detail and commercial accuracy
• Confidence working with operational teams
• Ability to support junior commercial staff

This is a rare opportunity to step into a senior commercial role with real responsibility, strong earning potential and the chance to shape the commercial performance of a growing regional branch. You will join a national property services and fire protection business with long‑term quality contracts across social housing, healthcare, education, leisure, public sector and commercial environments.

The branch achieved a 15 % bonus last year and exceeded its net profit target by around 34 %. Bonus performance is now linked to wider branch KPIs including profit, health and safety, driver scores and operational performance.

Team fit is hugely important. We are looking for someone genuine, honest, trustworthy and commercially confident. Someone who wants to progress, work towards shared goals and be part of a team where people muck in and support each other. You do not need to be the most qualified QS in the market if you are the right person culturally. You do need to be commercially capable, reliable, approachable and motivated to help the branch continue to grow.
