Manage subcontractor procurement, negotiation, and performance
Assess and agree applications for payment, variations, and final accounts
Identify and manage commercial risks and opportunities, particularly within complex engineering environments
Work closely with project delivery teams to drive value and cost efficiency
Support dispute avoidance and resolution through proactive contract management
Ensure compliance with governance procedures and commercial best practice
About You
Proven experience as a Senior Quantity Surveyor within major infrastructure or engineering projects
Strong, demonstrable experience working with NEC contracts, particularly Option C (Target Cost)
Experience within tunnelling, underground works, or similarly complex civil engineering environments is highly desirable
Excellent understanding of cost management, forecasting, and commercial controls
Strong analytical, negotiation, and stakeholder management skills
Ability to operate effectively in a fast-paced, technically complex project environment
Proficient in Microsoft Office and commercial/project management tools
Degree qualified in Quantity Surveying or related discipline (or equivalent experience)
MRICS or working towards professional accreditation is desirable
What's on Offer
Opportunity to work on complex, high-value infrastructure projects
Key role within a commercially focused and collaborative team
Exposure to technically challenging works, including tunnelling
Competitive salary and comprehensive benefits package
Flexible/hybrid working arrangements
This is an excellent opportunity for an experienced Senior Quantity Surveyor looking to take on a pivotal commercial role within complex infrastructure projects. If you have strong NEC Option C experience and a background in tunnelling, we would be keen to hear from you.
