Faversham, Kent | Hybrid working | Full-time
Salary: £53,000–£67,000 depending on experience
We’re looking for an experienced Senior Quantity Surveyor / Senior Cost Consultant to join our team in Faversham.
At Modus, our Senior Surveyors lead projects, build long-term client relationships, develop other surveyors and have a genuine influence on how we deliver our services and develop the business.
You’ll take responsibility for a varied portfolio of projects across the South of England, working directly with clients and project teams from the earliest stages through procurement, construction and final account.
A significant proportion of our work is within healthcare, education, local government and the wider public sector. These are projects with a clear purpose — improving hospitals, schools, public buildings and community facilities — where the advice we provide can have a tangible impact on the people who ultimately use them.
Modus is independently owned and Director-led. The people leading the business are the people who own it and work in it every day.
That means decisions are made close to our clients, projects and team, without layers of external ownership or corporate management. It gives us the freedom to make decisions based on what we believe is right for our clients, our people and the long-term development of the business.
For a Senior Surveyor, that means you’ll have:
As a Senior Quantity Surveyor / Senior Cost Consultant, you will typically:
We’re more interested in your capability and breadth of experience than simply counting years.
You’ll already have sufficient construction consultancy experience to independently manage projects through both pre- and post-contract stages and provide confident advice directly to clients.
Ideally, you’ll have:
MRICS would be advantageous but is not essential. We are equally interested in strong candidates who are actively progressing towards chartership.
Previous Contract Administrator and/or Employer’s Agent experience would also be advantageous, although we recognise that different consultancies structure their services differently.
You may currently be working as a Senior Quantity Surveyor, Senior Cost Consultant or Senior Project Quantity Surveyor. We’re more interested in your capability than your current job title.
Alongside a salary of £53,000–£67,000 depending on experience, our Senior Surveyor package includes:
At Senior level, flexibility comes with responsibility. We trust our senior people to manage their own time while ensuring their clients, projects, deadlines and team are properly supported.
Modus is an independently owned, Director-led construction consultancy providing Quantity Surveying / Cost Consultancy, Contract Administration, Employer’s Agent and wider construction consultancy services.
We have built the business around long-term relationships, quality professional advice and doing the right thing for our clients and our people.
We want to create an environment where talented people are trusted, challenged and supported; where they can use their professional judgement, continue developing and make a visible contribution to the business.
Our values — Integrity, Excellence, Collaboration, Community and Innovation — shape how we work with our clients and with each other.
You don’t necessarily need to be actively looking for a new job.
The best career moves don’t always begin with a job search. Sometimes they begin with a conversation about what else might be possible.
If you’d like an informal and confidential conversation about the role before deciding whether to apply, we’d be very happy to talk.
