About the role

Currie & Brown's Jersey office delivers cost and commercial advice on some of the island's most significant public and private sector projects. We're looking for a senior Quantity Surveyor to lead that service: own the P&L, build the team, and be the name clients call first. This is a leadership role with real autonomy. You'll shape the five-year plan for cost management in Jersey, with the backing of a global consultancy behind you. What you'll do
  • Lead and grow the Jersey QS team, mentoring and developing junior surveyors
  • Take P&L responsibility for cost management services and drive fee growth
  • Deliver accurate cost advice, reporting and commercial management across all project stages
  • Be the lead client interface, building long-term relationships with public and private sector clients
  • Win work: develop new opportunities, write bids, and represent Currie & Brown across the island's business community
  • Work with project leaders and other consultants to keep projects on budget and on programme
What you'll bring
  • MRICS (or equivalent professional membership) with a degree in QS or a related discipline
  • Senior PQS experience gained within a construction consultancy
  • A track record of running significant projects from inception to completion
  • Experience in both public and private sector work
  • Business development instinct: you enjoy winning work as much as delivering it
  • Strong report-writing and client-facing skills
  • Knowledge of the Jersey or Channel Islands market is a strong advantage, but not essential for the right candidate
Why Jersey, and why Currie & Brown?
  • Tax advantages: Jersey's income tax is capped at 20%
  • Lifestyle: shorter commutes, coastline on your doorstep, and a strong sense of community, less than an hour's flight from London
  • Leadership with autonomy: run a business, not just a team, with the support of a global firm
  • Career path: a clear route to progression and international mobility, whether by secondment or permanent move
  • Benefits: full benefits package
