Are you an experienced Senior Quantity Surveyor with a strong background in earthworks and civil engineering projects?
We’re representing a leading civil engineering contractor delivering large-scale earthworks, drainage, highways, and infrastructure schemes across the North East and Yorkshire.

* Ensure compliance with both NEC3/NEC4 and JCT forms of contract, as well as internal governance and reporting standards
* Drive commercial best practice, mentoring junior QS staff and ensuring accuracy in reporting
* Provide input into tendering, estimating, and value engineering during pre-construction phases
* Liaise directly with project managers and clients to maintain strong commercial relationships
Requirements
* Proven experience as a Senior Quantity Surveyor (or experienced QS ready to step up)
* Strong track record delivering earthworks or bulk excavation projects within the civil engineering or infrastructure sectors
* In-depth knowledge of NEC (Options A, B, C & E) and JCT contract forms
* Exceptional commercial acumen, analytical skills, and attention to detail
* Excellent communicator with strong client-facing and negotiation abilities
* HNC/Degree in Quantity Surveying or related discipline
* Proficient in Microsoft Office and ideally familiar with systems such as CEMAR or FastDraft
What’s On Offer
* Competitive salary and benefits package (including pension, healthcare, car allowance depending on experience)
* Permanent position on long-term civil and earthworks frameworks
* Clear progression opportunities toward Commercial Manager level
* Robust regional project pipeline across the North East and Yorkshire
* Supportive, hands-on team culture that values practical, site-experienced professionals
