Senior Quantity Surveyor / Managing Quantity Surveyor

Northumberland | Major Data Centre Project | Specialist Contractor | £80-95k + Car Allowance & Bonus

I'm currently recruiting for an experienced Senior Quantity Surveyor / Managing Quantity Surveyor to join a specialist contractor working on one of the UK's flagship new-build data centre projects in Northumberland.

This is a major, high-profile development involving significant substation and critical power infrastructure, and the successful candidate will play a key role in the commercial delivery of these packages across the wider scheme.

The business is experiencing a period of significant growth and has an excellent pipeline of work within the data centre, power and wider critical infrastructure sectors.

As SQS / MQS, you will take responsibility for the commercial management of major substation builds, working closely with the project leadership team, client, consultants and supply chain.

You’ll be involved across areas including:

• Commercial management of major substation and infrastructure packages
• Subcontract procurement and management
• Cost reporting, forecasting and cash flow
• Change management and valuations
• Commercial risk and opportunity management
• Contract administration
• Subcontractor negotiations
• Final accounts and commercial close-out
• Supporting and developing junior commercial team members where appropriate

Ideally, you'll have experience working as a Senior Quantity Surveyor or Managing Quantity Surveyor for a Tier 1 contractor or similarly well-established specialist contractor, delivering major construction or infrastructure projects.

Substation and critical power experience would be highly advantageous, given the nature of the project.

However, we're also very interested in candidates with strong commercial experience across related sectors, including:

• Data Centres
• BESS
• Pharmaceutical / Life Sciences
• Power & Utilities
• Renewable Energy
• Energy Infrastructure
• Nuclear
• Major Infrastructure
• Industrial / Advanced Manufacturing

The most important thing is that you have the commercial capability and project experience to operate effectively on a large, complex scheme.

• £80,000-£95,000 basic salary, depending on experience
• Car allowance
• Bonus
• Long-term opportunity with a rapidly growing specialist contractor
• Exposure to a major hyperscale data centre and critical power project
• Excellent future career progression opportunities

This is an opportunity to join a specialist contractor at a particularly exciting point in its growth.

You’ll be working on a major hyperscale data centre development, with substantial substation and critical power packages, while gaining exposure to one of the UK's most significant construction projects.

For the right individual, there is also the opportunity to build a long-term career with a business that has ambitious plans across the UK and European data centre and critical infrastructure markets.
