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.

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'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.
