Salary benchmarks across the 14 mission-critical disciplines.
Hire Senior Quantity Surveyors who lead the commercial position on major packages — subcontract procurement, upstream and downstream valuations, claims avoidance, and final accounts on the largest scopes in the job. Verified on settled accounts and protected margin, not years served.
A structured process for the senior QS hire — the seat that decides whether the biggest packages on the project close at margin or bleed into claims.
30-minute call. We align on package values, contract forms (AIA, NEC, FIDIC, bespoke), upstream vs. downstream emphasis, team oversight, and start date.
Within 2 weeks we introduce 3–5 Senior QSs with sector-matched major-package history. References from commercial managers and directors who reviewed their accounts included.
Every placement carries a replacement guarantee — contingency, contract, and direct hire alike.
We verify final-account outcomes on candidates’ largest packages — settlement values vs. entitlement, escalations avoided, and margin protected — with the leaders who signed them off.
Senior QSs manage money in both directions: maximizing recovery upstream while holding subcontractor accounts honest downstream. We reference both, because plenty of candidates are strong at only one.
Verified early-warning and notice discipline that keeps disputes from forming — plus real experience supporting formal claims when they could not be avoided.
Reference-verified commercial leadership of packages typically $25M–$150M+ — procurement through final account, not support roles on big jobs.
Tender analysis, commercial qualification, and subcontract drafting input that closed scope gaps before award — verified with procurement peers.
Contract-form fluency (NEC early warnings, FIDIC notices, AIA change directives) applied on live projects — and the paper trail to prove it.
Reference-verified oversight and development of assistant and project QSs — review standards that raised the whole commercial team.
We’ll help scope the role on the call — package values, contract forms, and upstream/downstream weighting usually settle the profile quickly.
Time to shortlist is typically 2 weeks; total time to placement typically 4–6 weeks. Senior QSs with data center or life sciences package history are scarce in the US — most placements come from mapped direct outreach, often including international candidates.
Most US Senior QS base salaries fall between $125,000 and $170,000, with hyperscale data center programs and MEP-specialist commercial leads commonly at $145,000–$185,000 plus bonus. MRICS designation and settled major-package accounts justify the top of the band.
A Senior QS leads the commercial position on specific major packages and mentors junior surveyors. A Commercial Manager owns the whole project’s commercial position — strategy, risk, claims posture, and the QS team itself. Senior QS is the classic feeder into that seat.
Yes. We actively recruit MRICS and chartered-pathway senior QSs from the UK, Ireland, Middle East, and APAC for US mission-critical programs — screened for US contract-form adaptability and relocation readiness before introduction.
Yes. Every placement carries a replacement guarantee, on every engagement model.
We reference the accounts, not the CV — settlement outcomes, notice discipline, and downstream fairness, checked with the commercial leaders who reviewed the work. That filter removes most of the market before you spend an hour interviewing.
30-minute scoping conversation. We’ll review package values, contract forms, and team structure — then start recruiting from a mapped network of senior QS talent in your sector.
