Senior Quantity Surveyor

Senior Quantity Surveyor

This is not your typical QS role.

You ll join a high-performing infrastructure contractor delivering complex, high-value civil engineering projects across transport, energy, water, and the built environment. With a strong pipeline of secured work and long-term frameworks, you ll be stepping into a role where your commercial decisions directly shape project success. From £200k schemes to £10m+ programmes, you ll be trusted to drive profitability, influence strategy, and spot opportunities others miss.

What You ll Be Doing

You ll be embedded in project teams, acting as the commercial heartbeat of delivery:

• Owning cost & value reporting (CVR), forecasting, and cash flow
• Leading subcontract procurement, negotiation, and account management
• Managing NEC/IChemE contracts and handling change, claims, and risk
• Identifying and unlocking commercial opportunities across projects
• Partnering with delivery teams to improve efficiency and margin
• Building strong relationships with clients and supply chain partners

This is a role where you won t just report numbers, but shape outcomes.

What You ll Bring

• Proven experience as a Quantity Surveyor in civil engineering or infrastructure
• Strong working knowledge of NEC (3/4) and/or IChemE contracts
• Experience managing subcontractors and full commercial lifecycle
• Confidence in forecasting, cost control, and financial reporting
• A proactive mindset (spots risks early and acts fast)

Desirable (but not essential):

• Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors (RICS) membership or working towards it
• Degree/HND in Quantity Surveying or similar
• Experience with direct delivery contractors

Why This Role Stands Out

• Secure, long-term work on major UK infrastructure projects
• Real career progression this business promotes from within
• A people-first culture with strong investment in training & development
• Opportunity to broaden your experience across multiple sectors

What s On Offer

• Competitive salary + benefits package
• Pension, life assurance & private healthcare
• Generous annual leave + loyalty days
• Flexible benefits & car allowance options
• Structured career development & leadership training
• Wellbeing support including EAP and volunteering days
