Senior Quantity Surveyor / Commercial Manager

Overview:

We’re recruiting on behalf of a £100M engineering group with 18 autonomous business units spanning rotating machinery, electrical contracting, and utilities. This is a strategic, hands-on opportunity for a commercially minded professional to lead and embed best practice across a diverse and growing organisation.

The Role:

As Senior QS / Commercial Manager, you’ll be the group’s go-to expert for interpreting contracts, reducing risk, and embedding commercial discipline. You’ll work closely with business unit leaders to:

* Advise on contract interpretation and commercial decision-making

* Identify and mitigate risk exposure

* Develop and implement commercial processes

* Coach teams to improve strategic thinking and commercial awareness

This is not a traditional QS role—it’s focused on influence, education, and improvement, not pricing or valuations.

What We’re Looking For:

* Strong understanding of contract law and commercial risk

* Background in construction, engineering, or consultancy

* Clear, pragmatic communicator with strategic insight

* Comfortable working autonomously across varied teams and disciplines

Ideal candidates may come from a Quantity Surveying, claims consultancy, or legal background.

Package Includes:

* Grade B car (£640 allowance / £535 lease)

* Up to 10% annual bonus

* BUPA healthcare

* Gym membership

* 25 days holiday

* Pension scheme (4% / 6% / 8%)
