Senior Quantity Surveyor

Senior Quantity Surveyor

This is not your typical QS role.

You’ll join a high-performing infrastructure contractor delivering complex, high-value civil engineering projects across transport, energy, water, and the built environment. With a strong pipeline of secured work and long-term frameworks, you’ll be stepping into a role where your commercial decisions directly shape project success. From £200k schemes to £10m+ programmes, you’ll be trusted to drive profitability, influence strategy, and spot opportunities others miss.

What You’ll Be Doing

You’ll be embedded in project teams, acting as the commercial heartbeat of delivery:

• Owning cost & value reporting (CVR), forecasting, and cash flow
• Leading subcontract procurement, negotiation, and account management
• Managing NEC/IChemE contracts and handling change, claims, and risk
• Identifying and unlocking commercial opportunities across projects
• Partnering with delivery teams to improve efficiency and margin
• Building strong relationships with clients and supply chain partners

This is a role where you won’t just report numbers, but shape outcomes.

 What You’ll Bring

• Proven experience as a Quantity Surveyor in civil engineering or infrastructure
• Strong working knowledge of NEC (3/4) and/or IChemE contracts
• Experience managing subcontractors and full commercial lifecycle
• Confidence in forecasting, cost control, and financial reporting
• A proactive mindset (spots risks early and acts fast)

Desirable (but not essential):

• Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors (RICS) membership or working towards it
• Degree/HND in Quantity Surveying or similar
• Experience with direct delivery contractors

 Why This Role Stands Out

• Secure, long-term work on major UK infrastructure projects
• Real career progression — this business promotes from within
• A people-first culture with strong investment in training & development
• Opportunity to broaden your experience across multiple sectors

What’s On Offer

• Competitive salary + benefits package
• Pension, life assurance & private healthcare
• Generous annual leave + loyalty days
• Flexible benefits & car allowance options
• Structured career development & leadership training
• Wellbeing support including EAP and volunteering days
