For Nigerian and African immigrants already in the UK, securing this Senior Quantity Surveyor role requires a tailored approach to your application. Emphasise your construction experience, particularly any civil engineering projects that align with UK standards and practices. Ensure your CV is meticulously formatted to UK expectations, highlighting your commercial management skills and any professional registrations or certifications relevant to quantity surveying.
Your LinkedIn profile should also be updated to reflect your expertise and aspirations within the UK construction sector, making it easy for UK employers like Hays to find you. While this role prefers UK-based applicants, if you have strong, transferable international experience and are exploring options, you must clearly articulate your current right-to-work status or how you plan to obtain it, even if it means directly enquiring with the employer about potential exceptions.
