Job Description

Quantity Surveyor (Intermediate / Senior) – Solar / Civils

 Work stretches across Bedfordshire, Hertfordshire, Cambridgeshire and Lincolnshire. 

 We’re looking for a QS who’s been through it.
Not just “aware of risk” - but has a sixth sense for it… usually triggered by the phrase “it’s only a small change.”

 You’ll recognise the classics:

The “temporary” road that outlives the project and half the team
IFC drawings that arrive just after you’ve pressed place order
Subcontractor scopes that read well… until you actually read them
A VE saving that somehow turns into a £50k lessonIf you’ve ever stared at a cost plan thinking “this looks fine… which means it definitely isn’t” - you’ll fit right in.

 The role:
3 live solar farm jobs (civils packages, ~£3m each):

Eaton Socon
Great Wymondley
Little Hale FenYou’ll be supporting an existing QS, but we need someone who can:
spot the problem before it becomes a meeting,
and fix it before it becomes a dispute.

 Set-up:

3–4 days on site
1–2 days in Knightsbridge
Yes, actual site presence - not just muting yourself on Teams while chaos unfolds elsewhereThe work:

Compounds, access roads, groundworks, battery bases
Temporary works (where profit either quietly appears… or vanishes without witnesses)
Design & build - so knowing what you’re buying matters just as much as how muchWhat we’re really after:

Proper civils experience (non-negotiable)
Contractor-side background
Someone who understands that “we’ll pick that up later” is where jobs go to die
Can value engineer without accidentally inventing a future claimPipeline:
There’s 2 years of work here already, with more coming - so this isn’t a short-term firefight. It’s a steady run of work (with the usual level of controlled chaos).

 Location:
Potentially ideal for someone around St Neots / Stevenage who prefers muddy boots over clean spreadsheets.

 If you’ve ever heard “it’s within budget” and immediately wanted to see the detail… we should talk.

 Immediate start for the right person.
