Grangemouth, Stirlingshire
Senior Quantity Surveyor Location: Grangemouth, Falkirk : Excellent salary package + hybrid working + clear pathway for progression The Opportunity Great opportunity for an ambitious QS / Senior QS to get involved with projects that will have a positive impact on people's lives across Scotland, within a role which will offer a fast-tracked route to a Framework Management / Commercial Management position. We are recruiting on behalf of one of the UK's leading critical infrastructure contractors for a Senior Quantity Surveyor to join their growing Warter Engineering team. Operating at the forefront of infrastructure renewal and transformation, this organisation delivers essential services across water, energy, power, nuclear, pharmaceutical and industrial sectors. With long-term frameworks, strong client relationships and a reputation for technical excellence, this is a business where commercial professionals are genuinely valued as strategic partners - not just cost controllers. If you're looking to step into a role where you can influence major infrastructure delivery, mentor others, and progress within a nationally recognised contractor shaping the UK's essential networks - this is an exceptional opportunity. Where You'll Be Working You'll be part of a multidisciplinary design and build environment supporting critical infrastructure projects across regulated and highly technical industries. The business delivers next-generation, value-added engineering solutions that don't just maintain infrastructure - they renew and reimagine it. This is a company that invests heavily in people development, offers structured progression pathways, and creates an environment where commercial professionals can thrive. The Role This is a commercially pivotal position focused on ensuring projects run smoothly, profitably and in line with contractual obligations. You will: Prepare, submit and agree valuations, variations and final accounts. Produce clear and accurate weekly progress and cost reports. Administer contract notices and compensation events using Unifier software. Monitor costs, labour and materials to safeguard margins. Place and manage subcontract orders. Support tendering and pre-construction commercial input. Identify and escalate commercial risks early to protect project performance. Provide proactive commercial guidance to operational teams. Above all, you'll play a central role in maintaining financial control while supporting collaborative, safety-first project delivery. What We're Looking For Proven experience as a Quantity Surveyor within infrastructure, utilities, or engineering environments. Strong understanding of NEC contracts (essential). Experience across different pricing mechanisms: lump sum, target cost, reimbursable and day works. Ideally RICS qualified or working towards chartership. Experience mentoring or supporting junior QSs. Confident communicator with the ability to advise Project Managers and Key Account Managers clearly. Proactive, detail-oriented and solutions-focused mindset. Why This Role Stands Out Work on Essential Infrastructure You'll contribute to projects that directly impact communities and national infrastructure. Career Progression in a Major Contractor As part of one of the UK's leading infrastructure groups, you'll benefit from structured training, recognised development programmes, and clear progression routes into Commercial Management. Culture That Encourages Growth The organisation actively supports development at every stage of your career - from mentoring opportunities to formal professional development and annual performance reviews. Flexible & Supportive Working Environment Hybrid working options (post-probation), strong team culture, and a business that prioritises safety, respect and inclusion. Commitment to Inclusion & Community This is an employer recognised for supporting veterans and fostering inclusive employee networks that create an environment where everyone belongs. What's in It for You Competitive salary and overtime opportunities Private healthcare Company pension scheme Death in service benefit 25 days annual leave plus bank holidays Option to purchase up to 5 additional holidays Employee assistance programme Retail and lifestyle discounts Structured professional development and training The Bigger Picture This is more than a Senior QS role - it's an opportunity to join a market-leading infrastructure contractor at a time of significant growth and investment. You'll have the platform, support, and exposure to take your commercial career to the next level while delivering projects that truly matter. If you're ready to play a key commercial role in delivering essential infrastructure services for life, we would welcome a confidential conversation.
