Senior responsibility More freedom
Less corporate baggage
Senior Quantity Surveyor | £50,000–£60,000*
Roxburgh Murray Associates is looking for an experienced QS or Senior QS who enjoys getting into complex commercial work, takes pride in getting the detail right and doesn't need to be micromanaged.
You'll work on substantial infrastructure, forestry and renewable-energy projects, take responsibility for your own QS work and have the flexibility that comes with joining a smaller, ambitious consultancy.
Any initial conversation will be completely confidential.
* Depending on experience
Work worth getting your teeth into.
The core of our work isn't small residential projects.
RMA supports substantial infrastructure, renewables and forestry projects, with most of our projects valued at more than £1m.
You'll be dealing with the things experienced Quantity Surveyors actually want to get into: valuations, variations, compensation events, NEC contracts, procurement, subcontractor accounts, final accounts and commercial risk.
You'll normally take responsibility for the day-to-day QS work on a major client project, with Lewis involved at Commercial Director level when needed.
If you're happiest with a complex project in front of you, the responsibility to run with it and the space to get the work done properly, you'll probably feel at home here.
Trusted to get on with it.
We're looking for experienced people because we want experience and judgement.
RMA isn't a micromanagement culture. As you settle into the business and demonstrate what you can do, you'll be trusted to manage your work and make decisions within your role.
We value people who are organised, accurate and proactive. People who notice when something doesn't stack up, keep good commercial records and take satisfaction from completing work properly.
You'll deal professionally with clients, subcontractors and project teams when required, but this isn't a role built around endless meetings or internal politics.
The priority is delivering excellent commercial work.
Flexibility without lowering the standard.
Our normal working day is 8am–5pm, but we're flexible about how you manage your time provided the work is being delivered and clients are properly supported.
Friday is normally an early finish around lunchtime where workload and commitments are being managed proactively.
Following your induction, the normal expectation is a minimum of one day per week in the office, with the remainder worked remotely where project requirements allow.
For your first three months, you'll normally spend four days per week in the office. We think that investment at the beginning matters: you'll get to know the team, clients, systems and how RMA works before moving into the normal hybrid arrangement.
Better tools. Less repetitive work.
We're actively exploring how technology and AI can remove repetitive QS administration rather than simply adding another system to your working day.
The objective is simple: spend less time on low-value repetition and more time on the work that needs an experienced QS — reviewing information, spotting issues, making decisions and getting commercial work completed properly.

Would RMA suit you?
We're looking for someone already operating at Senior QS level, or an experienced QS close to it.
You'll need strong experience of valuations, variations and commercial administration,
good NEC knowledge and the ability to manage your own workload. Attention to detail matters here.
So does being dependable, organised and willing to take responsibility.
You'll be someone who is calm, capable and confident in your own judgement,
focused on doing excellent work rather than making noise about it.
You take pride in getting the detail right, working through complex commercial issues
and delivering work you're happy to put your name to.
Interested? Let's have a coffee.
You don't need to make a formal application or decide that you're leaving your current employer.
Send us your LinkedIn profile or CV with a few basic details. If it looks as though there could be a good fit, Lewis will get in touch for a completely confidential conversation.
No pressure. No lengthy application process.
Just an opportunity to find out whether RMA could offer you something different.
