*
Manage contract compliance across NEC and IChemE forms and ensure reporting is aligned with client frameworks.

Drive cost efficiency, track commercial opportunities, and ensure financial risk is effectively managed.
*
Work closely with delivery teams to align commercial targets with operational progress.
*
Support and mentor junior QS staff where required.
Requirements
*
Proven experience in a similar role within civil engineering or utilities, ideally within the water sector.
*
Background in delivering work under long-term frameworks or alliances.
*
Strong understanding of NEC contracts and their practical application.
*
Ability to manage multiple projects and subcontractor accounts concurrently.
*
Confident communicator, able to manage client and internal stakeholder relationships.
*
Commercially astute with strong forecasting and cost control capabilities.
Desirable
*
Experience managing subcontracts with design elements or direct engagement with design partners.
*
Knowledge of water utility standards and frameworks (e.g. working with Southern Water or Portsmouth Water).
*
Degree or HND in Quantity Surveying or Commercial Management.
*
RICS/ICES membership or actively working towards chartership.
What’s on Offer

Enhanced pension and private medical cover.
