Senior Quantity Surveyor - Major Energy Infrastructure (£300m+ Transmission Project) Location : Enfield, Hoddesdon or Bishops Stortford (site-based 4 days per week) Salary : £53,000 - £70,000 + £7,000 car allowance + package Sector : Energy & Transmission Contractor-Side NEC4 Option C A leading infrastructure contractor is looking for a Senior Quantity Surveyor to join its Energy division on a major transmission project valued in excess of £300m in the South East of England. This is a genuine opportunity for a Senior Quantity Surveyor to join an industry leading business where you'll be carrying out end-to-end commercial management on an exciting, high value project. You'll take ownership of a package of works on a high-profile, technically complex energy scheme and because the project is in its early stages, you'll have the chance to shape the commercial framework from the outset rather than inheriting someone else's setup. For an ambitious Senior Quantity Surveyor, or an experienced QS ready for that step up, this is a rare chance to put your stamp on a significant infrastructure project, crucial to the UK's energy network.
