Associate Director | Quantity Surveyor | Bristol, UK
About the role:
If you’re an experienced quantity surveyor seeking a leadership role with a reputable, growing, global consultancy – then this could be a fantastic opportunity for you.
We’re seeking a chartered quantity surveyor to join our team in Bristol who can lead key developments and accounts, help to manage a small team of junior staff and aid in their mentorship and development, as well as taking an active role in delivering our growth strategy alongside our senior leadership team.
Working out of our Bristol office will provide you with exposure to an exciting array of developments across multiple sectors of the built environment, including (but not limited to) residential, retail, healthcare and industrial.
We’re an established consultancy within the Bristol and Southwest region, and we have ambitious plans for growth. If this sounds like the type of role and business where you can take your career to the next level, then we’d love to hear from you!
How you’ll contribute:
Our Associate Directors take overall responsibility for the leadership and successful delivery of large or complex projects. They manage end-to-end scope, programme, cost, risk, and safety while building trusted relationships with clients, consultants, and delivery partners.
Beyond project delivery, they contribute to the commercial and operational performance of TSA Riley through team leadership, planning, and pursuit activity.
Our Associate Directors bring deep project expertise, commercial acumen, and a structured, forward-thinking approach to leading complex delivery. They’re trusted delivery leads with broad sector experience, known for their judgement, clarity, and ability to align project outcomes with both client priorities and TSA Riley’s commercial goals.
Our Associate Directors bring the experience and credibility to lead with impact, including:
TSA Riley has a 130-year heritage dating back to 1890 when Henry Riley Esq first established a quantity surveying practice in London. In Asia Pacific we trace our roots back to the 1980s through the merging of several respected, small project management and advisory firms.
Now, in the 21st century, we're defining and pioneering a new way of helping our clients drive greater value and impact from their built assets.
Plan. Deliver. Optimise. We call this project consulting.
We provide expert strategic, commercial and operations advice; project and cost management; carbon advice; and dispute resolution. This uniquely broad range of services - across the project lifecycle - means we understand the interdependencies at every stage. We combine this with hands-on experience and personalised service to drive greater value, impact and certainty for our clients' projects.
About Our Values:
We welcome applications from candidates who are interested in working with us but are not able to commit to a full-time role and/or would require forms of flexible working. Additionally, we provide hybrid working as standard practice.
We would like you to perform at your best at every stage of our recruitment process. Please contact us if you require any adjustments that would support you throughout your application.
