Senior Lecturer in Quantity Surveying

We are excited to be recruiting for the position of Senior Lecturer in Quantity Surveying and Commercial Management. Working within the School of Architecture and Environment, this post will focus on teaching and supporting learners on the BSc (Hons) Quantity Surveying and Commercial Management programme.

The curriculum spans the full project lifecycle, from QS Practice and Procedures and Procurement and Contract Practice through to advanced modules in International Cost Management and Commercial Management. Learners are encouraged to apply their knowledge in real world contexts, including work placements, and to engage with contemporary issues such as sustainability, innovation, and professionalism in the built environment.

In addition to the full time and part-time undergraduate pathways, the programme has a thriving ‘Degree Apprenticeship’ portfolio, with a strong cohort of apprentices working across more than 65 partner organisations in the UK construction industry. RICS Chartership or perusing one within reasonable timeline is desirable for the position.
