Senior Quantity Surveyor - Civil Engineering & Infrastructure

Shape Major Projects. Drive Commercial Success.

Join a leading UK infrastructure contractor delivering complex civil engineering projects across water, energy, transport, and the built environment. With a strong pipeline of secured work and long-term frameworks, this is an opportunity to become part of a business where commercial expertise has a direct impact on project performance and profitability.

Working across schemes ranging from £200k to £10m+, you'll play a key role in driving value, influencing strategy, and ensuring successful project delivery.

The Role

As a Quantity Surveyor, you'll work closely with operational teams and act as the commercial lead across a range of projects. Responsibilities include:

* Producing and managing cost value reconciliations (CVR), forecasting, and cash flow reporting.

* Procuring and managing subcontract packages, including negotiation and account management.

* Administering NEC3/NEC4 and IChemE contracts, managing change control, risk, and compensation events.

* Identifying commercial opportunities and mitigating potential risks.

* Supporting project teams to improve efficiency and maximise margins.

* Building and maintaining strong relationships with clients and supply chain partners.

This is a position where you'll do far more than report figures — you'll help shape project outcomes.

About You

We're looking for someone who has:

* Previous experience as a Quantity Surveyor within civil engineering or infrastructure.

* Strong knowledge of NEC3/NEC4 and/or IChemE contracts.

* Experience managing subcontractors and the full commercial lifecycle.

* Excellent forecasting, cost control, and financial reporting skills.

* A proactive approach with the ability to identify risks and opportunities early.

Desirable

* RICS membership, or working towards chartership.

* Degree or HND in Quantity Surveying or a related discipline.

* Experience working with direct delivery contractors.

Why Join?

* Long-term, secure workload across major UK infrastructure projects.

* Genuine career progression with a business that promotes from within.

* Strong investment in training, development, and leadership programmes.

* Exposure to projects across multiple sectors, broadening your experience.

* Supportive, people-focused culture.

Package & Benefits

* Competitive salary and benefits package.

* Car allowance and flexible benefits options.

* Pension, private healthcare, and life assurance.

* Generous annual leave plus additional loyalty days.

* Structured career development and leadership training.

* Employee Assistance Programme and wellbeing support.

* Volunteering days and a strong focus on work-life balance.

If you're looking for a role where your commercial expertise will be valued and your career can continue to develop, we'd love to hear from you
