Senior Quantity Surveyor Scunthorpe & Mersey £55,000 - £65,000 Permanent The Opportunity A leading provider of innovative infrastructure and technology solutions within the UK rail sector is looking for an experienced Senior Quantity Surveyor to take commercial ownership of high-value projects currently in the design phase. This is a critical hire for the business. With several projects experiencing significant change during the design lifecycle, we need a "hands-on" professional who can hit the ground running to manage a backlog of Early Warning Notices (EWNs), price complex variations, and produce robust Cost to Completes. For the right candidate, this role offers a clear trajectory toward Commercial Manager status, backed by tailored professional development and RICS mentorship if required.

Team Leadership: Providing guidance to junior commercial staff and collaborating closely with design and site operational teams. The Candidate: The successful candidate must be an experienced Quantity Surveyor from within the Rail sector . Due to the current phase of the projects, there is no "bedding-in" period; you must understand rail-specific risks (such as possessions) and be an expert in NEC 3/4 contracts from day one. Experience: Circa 5-10+ years of experience at a Senior level. Technical Skills: Proven ability to manage a heavy volume of EWNs and Compensation Events. Ambition: A desire to progress into a Commercial Management role. Qualifications: HND/Degree in Quantity Surveying or equivalent.
