Ref: 225628244

We’re looking for an experienced Quantity Surveyor to join a growing project team and take commercial ownership of some of the company’s larger and higher-risk projects.

This is a senior, hands-on position where you’ll work closely with Project Managers, Engineers, clients and the supply chain, providing strong commercial leadership while helping shape and improve commercial processes across the business.

Key Responsibilities

  • Take full commercial responsibility for assigned projects.
  • Manage valuations, variations, change control, compensation events and final accounts.
  • Lead cost control, forecasting, CVRs and cashflow management.
  • Identify and manage commercial and contractual risks and opportunities.
  • Procure and manage subcontractor and supply chain packages.
  • Assess subcontractor applications, variations and final accounts.
  • Provide contractual and commercial advice to Project Managers and delivery teams.
  • Support extensions of time, loss & expense, compensation events and dispute resolution where required.
  • Ensure strong commercial governance, record keeping and contractual compliance.
  • Provide clear and accurate commercial reporting to senior management.
  • Mentor and support Project Managers, Engineers and junior commercial staff.
  • Contribute to improving commercial systems, processes and reporting across the business.

What We're Looking For

  • Significant experience in Quantity Surveying or a senior commercial role.
  • Background in construction, M&E, engineering or multidisciplinary projects.
  • Strong knowledge of JCT and/or NEC contracts.
  • Proven experience managing valuations, variations, change control and final accounts.
  • Strong subcontract procurement and supply chain management experience.
  • Confident with forecasting, CVRs, cost control and cashflow.
  • Excellent negotiation, communication and stakeholder management skills.
  • Degree, HNC/HND or equivalent in Quantity Surveying, Commercial Management or a related discipline.
  • MRICS / MCIOB or working towards professional accreditation is desirable.
  • Strong Microsoft Excel and Microsoft Office skills.

Why Consider the Role?

This is more than a traditional QS position. You’ll be joining a close-knit team where your commercial expertise will genuinely influence how projects are delivered.

You’ll have the opportunity to:

  • Take ownership of high-value and commercially complex projects.
  • Work closely with senior management and operational teams.
  • Influence commercial strategy and processes.
  • Mentor and develop the wider project team.
  • Play a key role in the continued growth of the business.
  • Build strong relationships with clients, consultants and supply chain partners.

If you're an experienced Quantity Surveyor looking for a role with genuine responsibility, influence and progression, we'd like to hear from you.
