Senior Quantity Surveyor – Infrastructure & Highways

The Opportunity

An exciting opportunity has arisen for a Senior Quantity Surveyor to take a leading commercial role on a major UK infrastructure project — a significant highways scheme delivering new carriageway construction, junction improvements, earthworks, drainage, and structural elements.

This is a high-profile position offering real ownership and influence across commercial performance, cost control, and contract management, either on a flagship project or across a portfolio of infrastructure schemes.

You’ll be joining a well-established, forward-thinking infrastructure business with a strong pipeline of long-term secured work across highways, water, utilities, and wider civil engineering frameworks. The environment is collaborative, delivery-focused, and built around developing high-performing teams and long-term careers.

What You’ll Be Doing

You will take full commercial responsibility for key elements of project delivery, including:

  * Ensuring a safe working environment and supporting strong health & safety performance

  * Leading subcontract procurement, negotiation, and package management

  * Administering contracts and managing commercial compliance throughout delivery

  * Managing change control processes, including Compensation Events and variations

  * Producing, submitting, and agreeing monthly applications and valuations

  * Developing detailed cost plans, forecasts, and Cost Value Reconciliations (CVR)

  * Monitoring subcontractor performance and managing commercial risk exposure

  * Issuing contractual notices to clients and supply chain partners as required

  * Liaising closely with operational and engineering teams to maintain accurate site records

  * Supporting progress, risk, and commercial review meetings with key stakeholders

What We’re Looking For

  * Strong experience in civil engineering or infrastructure projects (highways, water, utilities, or similar)

  * Excellent working knowledge of standard forms of contract (NEC experience highly desirable)

  * Strong commercial awareness with proven negotiation and cost control capability

  * Confident communicator with strong stakeholder management skills

  * Experience managing subcontract packages and change control processes

  * Proficient in Microsoft Excel and commercial systems (e.g. CEMAR, Oracle or similar)

  * Degree qualified in Quantity Surveying or related discipline (or equivalent experience)

  * Working towards or holding MCIOB / MRICS (desirable)

  * Valid CSCS card

Why Apply?

This is a chance to be part of a business delivering some of the UK’s most important infrastructure programmes, with a strong order book and long-term visibility of work.

You will benefit from:

  * A secure pipeline of major infrastructure projects

  * Opportunities to work across highways, utilities, and civil engineering schemes

  * Clear progression pathways and structured development support

  * Exposure to large-scale, complex infrastructure delivery environments

  * Flexible and agile working arrangements where appropriate
