Immediate Start
£65k - £75k Annual
Full-Time
Senior Quantity Surveyor - Power & Energy Infrastructure
Location: Motherwell / Central Belt Salary: £65,000 - £75,000 + Car or car allowance + 15% Bonu
Sector: Power | Transmission & Distribution | Civils | Substations | Overhead Lines | Underground Cables
Employment Type: Permanent
Package: Competitive salary + car / allowance + bonus + full benefits package
This is a strong opportunity for an experienced Quantity Surveyor or Senior Quantity Surveyor who wants to move into long-term, nationally significant power infrastructure projects.
You will be working on major power frameworks supporting the upgrade and reinforcement of Scotland's electricity transmission network, with projects linked to leading network operators such as SSE, SSEN, ScottishPower Energy Networks and ScottishPower Transmission.
These are not short-term, isolated projects. This is part of a long-term power infrastructure programme involving substations, overhead lines, underground cabling, grid reinforcement, renewable energy connections and major civil engineering works across Scotland.
For a commercial professional with a civil engineering background, this is the kind of role that can provide genuine career stability, technical development and long-term progression in one of the fastest-growing areas of UK infrastructure.
The opportunity
As Senior Quantity Surveyor, you will take commercial responsibility across live and upcoming power infrastructure projects. You will work closely with project teams, operations, planning, engineering, procurement and the client to manage cost, risk, change, subcontractors and commercial performance.
The company is looking for a commercially strong QS who can demonstrate full project lifecycle experience, from early-stage procurement and contract setup through to delivery, change control, final account and project close-out.
This is particularly suited to someone who has seen projects through properly, understands how margin is protected, and can work closely with site teams to ensure the commercial position reflects what is actually happening on the ground.
The role will involve:
Managing commercial performance across major power and civil engineering projects
Working with NEC contracts, compensation events, early warnings and change control
Preparing and managing Cost Value Reconciliations, forecasts and commercial reports
Managing applications for payment, valuations and final accounts
Supporting procurement and subcontractor management
Identifying commercial risk, opportunity and margin improvement
Working closely with operational teams to understand progress, productivity and cost
Building effective relationships with client-side commercial teams
Supporting the successful delivery of long-term power infrastructure frameworks
The company is looking for someone with:
Experience as a Quantity Surveyor or Senior Quantity Surveyor
A strong civil engineering or infrastructure background
Experience working on NEC forms of contract
Strong cost management, forecasting and commercial reporting experience
A steady work history and a clear track record in permanent project delivery roles
Evidence of full lifecycle project experience
The ability to work closely with operational teams on live infrastructure projects
A genuine interest in power, energy, utilities and transmission infrastructure
Power sector experience would be highly advantageous, but it is not essential if you have a strong civil engineering background and want to move into the power and energy sector.
Candidate requirements
Applicants must already have the right to work in the UK. Unfortunately, visa sponsorship is not available for this position.
This role is best suited to candidates seeking a long-term, permanent career move. Due to the nature of the framework and the need for continuity across major projects, the company is prioritising commercial professionals with a steady permanent employment history.
Candidates from a freelance or short-term contract background are unlikely to be the right fit for this particular role. That is not a reflection on capability, as many freelance QS professionals are highly experienced, but this opportunity is focused on long-term team stability, project continuity and career progression within a permanent environment.
PLEASE NOTE
You must be eligible to live and work in the UK to apply for this position
