They are now seeking an experienced Senior Quantity Surveyor to support and lead the commercial delivery of complex construction and infrastructure projects.

The Role
As a Senior Quantity Surveyor, you will take responsibility for the commercial and contractual management of projects from early stages through to final account.

Key Requirements

  • Strong working knowledge of NEC contracts is essential, including a clear understanding of the principles and how they operate in practice
  • Proven experience operating at Senior Quantity Surveyor level or as a commercial lead
  • Background in infrastructure, energy, aviation or similar complex sectors is desirable but not essential
  • Excellent client-facing and communication skills
  • Experience gained either consultancy-side or from a contractor background
