Job Description

Senior Quantity Surveyor
This is not your typical QS role.
You’ll join a high-performing infrastructure contractor delivering complex, high-value civil engineering projects across transport, energy, water, and the built environment. With a strong pipeline of secured work and long-term frameworks, you’ll be stepping into a role where your commercial decisions directly shape project success. From £200k schemes to £10m+ programmes, you’ll be trusted to drive profitability, influence strategy, and spot opportunities others miss.
What You’ll Be Doing
You’ll be embedded in project teams, acting as the commercial heartbeat of delivery:
  * Owning cost & value reporting (CVR), forecasting, and cash flow
  * Leading subcontract procurement, negotiation, and account management
  * Managing NEC/IChemE contracts and handling change, claims, and risk
  * Identifying and unlocking commercial opportunities across projects
  * Partnering with delivery teams to improve efficiency and margin
  * Building strong relationships with clients and supply chain partners
This is a role where you won’t just report numbers, but shape outcomes.
What You’ll Bring
  * Proven experience as a Quantity Surveyor in civil engineering or infrastructure
  * Strong working knowledge of NEC (3/4) and/or IChemE contracts
  * Experience managing subcontractors and full commercial lifecycle
  * Confidence in forecasting, cost control, and financial reporting
  * A proactive mindset (spots risks early and acts fast)
Desirable (but not essential):
  * Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors (RICS) membership or working towards it
  * Degree/HND in Quantity Surveying or similar
  * Experience with direct delivery contractors
Why This Role Stands Out
  * Secure, long-term work on major UK infrastructure projects
  * Real career progression — this business promotes from within
  * A people-first culture with strong investment in training & development
  * Opportunity to broaden your experience across multiple sectors
What’s On Offer
  * Competitive salary + benefits package
  * Pension, life assurance & private healthcare
  * Generous annual leave + loyalty days
  * Flexible benefits & car allowance options
  * Structured career development & leadership training
  * Wellbeing support including EAP and volunteering days
