Managing Quantity Surveyor

We are working alongside one of the UK’s leading privately owned civil engineering contractors to help secure the services of a Managing Quantity Surveyor whose role will be look after a team of QSs operating in the power sector out of offices in Edinburgh. Reporting to the Business Unit Commercial Manager (remotely) your role will be to ensure smooth running of all schemes under your control. The majority of the work will be under a framework agreement with SSE and as such you will be required to build successful relationships with your counterparts. The main form of contract being utilised is an amended FIDIC form so it’s not expected candidates will have too much experience of it, obviously any FIDIC experience would be an advantage though. Given that you’ll be the Senior commercial team member in the office you will need to show a good deal of proactivity as the role will be pretty much autonomous with only fortnightly meetings expected when either the Business Unit Commercial Manager (or his number two) come to visit. You will need to gather all the salient information from the QSs on site and then report that via company templates. You should already be a competent user of Excel in terms of reporting. The role will suit someone who is process driven, comes from a main contractor background and, ideally, has good experience of communicating with SSE. If you are interested in this role please forward your CV and you will be contacted by the relevant consultant. Regum Ltd is operating as a recruitment agency in respect of this role
