We are currently recruiting for a Senior Quantity Surveyor to join our clients on their Water projects, straddling between the Bracknell and Oxford areas.
The Opportunity:
This role will support four projects located across the Bracknell to Oxford corridor. The schemes are currently in the design phase and operating under relatively small-value cost-plus contracts.

Key Responsibilities:
- Commercial management from design through to final account
- Cost reporting, forecasting and financial control
- Management of cost-plus and target cost contracts
- Risk and opportunity management
- Subcontractor procurement and commercial management
- Change control and compensation event management
- Collaboration with project and delivery teams
About You:
- Proven experience operating at Senior QS level
- Strong understanding of cost-plus and target cost contracts
- Infrastructure or utilities experience preferred (water sector desirable)
- Ability to manage multiple projects simultaneously
- Strong stakeholder communication skills
If you are interested in securing a role that offers continuity, responsibility and involvement from design through to delivery, please apply with your CV or get in touch to discuss further.
