Job Description

SENIOR QUANTITY SURVEYOR BRISTOL UP TO £70K

Good with numbers? Love a bit of commercial strategy? Prefer keeping projects in the black rather than letting costs go off the rails?

I'm on the lookout for a Senior QS to join a civil engineering business in Bristol, with up to £70k on the table.

This isn't just about spreadsheets and chasing payments (although there'll be a bit of that). It's about taking ownership, spotting opportunities, managing risk and making a real impact on project performance.

What you'll be getting stuck into:
  • Keeping project costs, budgets and forecasts in check.
  • Managing subcontractors, valuations and final accounts.
  • Negotiating contracts and keeping commercial risks under control.
  • Working alongside project teams to keep things running smoothly.
  • Spotting opportunities to protect margins and boost profitability.
You'll be a good fit if you:
  • Know your way around civil engineering projects.
  • Have a solid commercial head on your shoulders.
  • Can handle contracts, costs and negotiations without breaking a sweat.
  • Like having responsibility and making things happen.
The important bits:

Location: Bristol
Salary: Up to £70,000
Sector: Civil Engineering
Level: Senior
