You ll be involved in a truly multi-disciplinary environment, covering civils, structures, buildings, M&E, rail systems, and power - giving you experience that would normally take years to build elsewhere.

Progression to Commercial Manager level is realistic within 2 years, supported by structured development, mentoring, and full support toward professional chartership (RICS, ICES, etc.). About You You ll likely be a Graduate QS, Assistant QS or Ass Cost Manager with around 18 months+ experience, ideally within infrastructure or major projects. Experience working with NEC3/4 contracts (including compensation events) is highly desirable. You may come from a main contractor or consultancy background and have worked across sectors such as rail, civils, utilities, highways, water, or buildings. Most importantly, you ll be a motivated self-starter with a strong desire to learn, develop, and build a long-term career in commercial management within major infrastructure. Why Join? You ll be part of a flexible, supportive, and high-performing environment with a strong culture of development and collaboration. With no rigid long-hours culture, flexible working, and exposure to one of the UK s most prestigious programmes, this role offers both career acceleration and work-life balance.
