Senior Quantity Surveyor

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
