Quantity Surveyor / Project Manager

MorganCarr is a vibrant, slightly radical construction consultancy delivering high-quality fit-outs and refurbishments in live, operational environments. We specialise in projects where there's no room to shut down - from Michelin starred restaurants to creative spaces and high-profile venues that need to keep running while we transform them.

This is fast-paced, high-energy work where the turnaround is measured in weeks, not years. It's the opposite of the drawn-out, slow-moving projects many QSs are used to. If you thrive on momentum, variety, and the buzz of seeing results quickly, you'll fit right in.

Location: Worthing (Monday & Friday office-based, hybrid working)

Hours: Full-time, 40 hours per week

The Role

As a Quantity Surveyor / Project Manager at MorganCarr, you'll combine cost and contract management with hands-on project delivery. Our projects move quickly and demand adaptability, problem-solving, and confident decision-making.

You'll typically manage 3-5 projects at a time, often across different sites, and spend 2-3 days a week on location (mainly London/South East, with occasional national travel). You'll be involved from cost planning through to final handover, with the added opportunity to represent us in pitches and client meetings.

If you're looking for a predictable, routine role, this won't be the right fit. It's for someone dynamic, confident, and ready to bring personality as well as technical skill to the table.

What You'll Do

Prepare and manage cost plans, cost estimates, budgets, and cashflows

Manage the procurement and tendering process, including main contractor and client direct contractors

Manage valuations, variations, and final accounts

Create and deliver project programmes to tight timelines

Manage site meetings with contractors and clients

Attend sites regularly to oversee progress and quality

Build strong relationships with clients and stakeholders

Contribute to pitches and adapt proposals for different clients/projects

Have an awareness of contractual requirements for projects (mainly JCT)

What We're Looking For

BSc in Quantity Surveying or similar

Experience in a QS, PM, or hybrid role

Excellent communication skills with a strong personality that can fit in and stand out

Ability to manage multiple fast-paced projects and thrive in challenging, live environments

Full UK driving licence

Nice to have:

Experience in fast-paced, client-facing sectors such as hospitality, leisure, creative, retail, or high-end commercial and residential environments

RICS/CIOB membership or working towards it

Why Join Us?
