Senior Quantity Surveyor - Water & Wastewater Infrastructure
Cardiff, South Wales
55,000 to 68,000 + package

A leading infrastructure contractor is delivering a secured, long-term wastewater capital programme across South Wales. As the commercial team grows to meet the framework's workload, they are looking for an experienced Senior Quantity Surveyor to take genuine ownership of a portfolio of live civil engineering schemes across South Wales.

The role
Reporting to the Managing Quantity Surveyor, you will take full commercial responsibility for multiple wastewater capital schemes from procurement through to final account. You will also have a supporting role in mentoring junior surveyors as the team develops.

Day-to-day, you can expect to be working across:

• Commercial management of treatment works upgrades, network improvements and associated civils
• Subcontract procurement, negotiation and administration
• Compensation event management under NEC Options A and C
• CVR and cost forecasting, with direct reporting to senior management
• Risk and opportunity management across the framework
• Supporting and mentoring Project and Assistant Quantity Surveyors

• Strong working knowledge of NEC forms of contract (Options A and/or C)
• Demonstrable experience managing subcontract packages and change control
• Comfortable managing multiple concurrent schemes autonomously
• Degree-qualified in Quantity Surveying or a related discipline (preferred)
• Experience on long-term frameworks or utility programmes is an advantage

Why this role

• Clear, structured route to Managing Quantity Surveyor
• Based in Cardiff - a stable regional role with no requirement to travel nationally
• Opportunity to shape a growing commercial team from an early stage
• Exposure to a major utility infrastructure programme with genuine variety
