The next step for a Quantity Surveyor who wants to grow with a company that s growing faster. The utilities world rarely moves this fast. But when a business goes from £8m to £300m turnover in three years backed by private equity and expanding across renewables, power, and water it opens up serious opportunity for commercial people who want their next move to mean something. This is one of those moments. The Bigger Picture This organisation is scaling fast.
