The Role & Firm

Our client is a medium sized consultancy with offices across the UK, we are currently searching for a QS and SQS to join their London based retail team. The culture is fun, flexible and fast-paced with a friendly feel and tends to attract client facing professionals, those who wish to work autonomously while supported and surrounded by a competent and professional team.

The role is to work on a major client account for the business, a large retailer. Projects can range from 1 day on site to 3 months and you will work across several projects at a time.

Ideally you should have some consultancy experience but our client will also look at those from main-contractors who wish to move into a consultancy environment.

A great team and work ethic are essential as our client is looking for efficient, goal driven, engaging individuals who prioritise innovation and flexibility. Candidates must be fluent in English with previous work experience in the UK and be based in London or be able to commute on a daily basis. Successful candidates will be offered excellent career development opportunities supported by a varied and challenging workload with progression and reward being driven by successful delivery and performance.
