Senior Quantity Surveyor (Civils)

Birchwood | Up to £60,000 + Career Progression + Growing Business

Are you a Quantity Surveyor with solid experience working alongside Tier 1 contractors and looking for the next step in your career?

We're looking for an ambitious, commercially minded Senior Quantity Surveyor to join our clients growing Civils Division. This is an excellent opportunity for someone with at least 5 years' experience who wants more than just another QS role. We want someone who is eager to develop, take ownership, influence the commercial direction of projects, and ultimately build a long-term career with a business that has genuine growth ambitions.

For the right person, this role could provide a clear pathway towards becoming a Commercial Manager and, as the business continues to expand, potentially a Commercial Director in the future.

The Opportunity

Reporting directly to the Civils Director, you will take a leading role in the commercial management of civil engineering and infrastructure projects from contract award through to final account. You'll be trusted to make commercial decisions, manage risks, maximise project profitability, and build strong relationships with clients, subcontractors and operational teams.
This is a hands-on role where you'll be given responsibility, autonomy, and the opportunity to make a real impact on the success of the division.

What You'll Be Doing

- Managing commercial and contractual activities across civils projects from start to finish.
- Preparing and managing project budgets, forecasts, cost plans and profitability reporting.
- Pricing, negotiating and agreeing variations, compensation events and commercial changes with confidence.
- Managing subcontractor procurement, payments, variations and final accounts.
- Producing monthly CVRs, cashflow forecasts and commercial reports.
- Supporting operational teams with commercial guidance and risk management.
- Building and maintaining strong relationships with clients, suppliers and subcontractors.
- Helping to develop commercial best practice and supporting the growth of the Civils Division.

What We're Looking For

- Minimum 5 years' Quantity Surveying experience within civil engineering or infrastructure.
- Experience working with or for Tier 1 contractors and a good understanding of major project environments.
- Strong working knowledge of NEC and JCT contracts.
- Proven ability to independently assess, price and negotiate variations and commercial changes.
- Strong commercial awareness and negotiation skills.
- A proactive attitude and desire to take on greater responsibility.
- Full UK driving licence.

What's In It For You?

- Salary up to £60,000.
- Genuine opportunity to shape your own career path.
- Direct exposure to senior leadership and decision-making.
- Opportunity to progress into commercial management as the business grows.
- Varied and challenging civil engineering projects.
- Collaborative environment where your contribution will be recognised.
- Chance to join a business with ambitious growth plans and play a key role in that journey.

About You

You're probably at a stage in your career where you've built a strong commercial foundation and understand what "good" looks like on major projects. Now you're looking for a business that will invest in you, trust you with responsibility, and give you the platform to progress.

If you're ambitious, commercially astute, and excited by the prospect of helping build something bigger while accelerating your own career, we'd love to hear from you.
Apply today and help shape the future of our clients growing Civil's Division
