Job Description

Senior Quantity Surveyor (SQS) – Take Commercial Control

We’re looking for a Senior Quantity Surveyor to step into a key commercial leadership role within a thriving regional civils business, driving performance across a large civils framework.

This company operate on a self delivery model. That means more control, more influence, and real ownership of outcomes from day one.

Hit the ground running

Your first challenge? A large highways project starting soon. It's complex, and high-impact. You’ll be front and centre, shaping delivery from the outset.

This is a predominantly site-based role, so if you thrive in the action and want visibility on what you deliver, this is for you.

As SQS, you’ll take full commercial ownership across the framework — from early engagement through to final account:

  * Lead commercial delivery of highways schemes to maximise profitability and performance

  * Own budgets, forecasting, CVRs, and cash flow with confidence and accuracy

  * Take charge of NEC contract management – early warnings, compensation events, change control

  * Procure and manage subcontractors within a true self-delivery environment

  * Drive value engineering and efficiency across projects and the wider framework

  * Be the go-to commercial lead for the client, building strong, trusted relationships

  * Mentor and support junior team members

  * Work side-by-side with delivery teams to align commercial strategy with site performance

👉 This is a hands-on, high-visibility role where your decisions directly impact how projects succeed.

What you’ll get

We’ll back you with a strong package and real career progression:

  * Company car or allowance

  * Private healthcare

  * Pension & life assurance

  * 25 days holiday + your birthday off

  * Enhanced family leave

  * Flexible / hybrid working where possible

  * Clear development and progression opportunities

About you

You’re not just experienced — you’re confident taking ownership:

  * Proven Senior QS (or strong QS ready to step up) in civil engineering / highways

  * Track record of delivering end-to-end commercial management

  * Strong NEC contract expertise (essential)

  * Skilled in forecasting, cost control, and change management

  * Confident managing clients and stakeholders

  * Commercially sharp with strong negotiation skills

  * Experience in a self-delivery / principal contractor environment (desirable)

Ready for more than just a project?

This is your chance to own a framework, lead commercially, and make a visible impact
