At FCDO Services, we protect the UK’s interests at home and overseas. We design and construct secure government buildings, courier diplomatic packages worldwide, safeguard government tech, and a whole lot more. Our work is as varied and vital as it gets, but we never lose sight of our people. Their skills, aspirations and growth mean as much as the global mission we're on.

In our world, it all matters.

Designing engineering solutions. Earthquake-proofing embassies. Managing construction contracts in challenging locations. Just a few examples of the incredible work our Engineering team does. They're the people who plan, design, and deliver innovation across all corners of the globe. Now, you've got the opportunity to join them.

As a Senior Quantity Surveyor in our Engineering & Operations team, your day-to-day will be varied and dynamic. Touching everything from cost management and contract administration for major projects in a global portfolio, to tender action, post-contract activities and stakeholder management, you’ll work flexibly to ensure the successful delivery of multiple high-profile, high-value projects.

Working both in the UK and overseas, you’ll get the unique opportunity to work on some of our most iconic buildings. As such, you’ll be committed to continually evolving and developing your skillset, and the skillset of the team around you. Liaising with Project Managers, the Design Team and a wide variety of stakeholders, you’ll provide regular project progress reports, working to control expenditure, ensure financial performance, and provide specialist advice.

A Chartered Quantity Surveyor with a degree in Quantity Surveying, you’ll have substantial practical experience. Having worked on large-scale, complex projects in a previous role, you’ll be confident providing cost management services for all stages of a project - from inception through to design. Your technical knowledge of Health & Safety legislation will be up-to-date, and you’ll have effective relationship management, site surveying and inspection, and project governance skills.

On a personal level, you’ll have strong verbal and written communication skills, and an organised, detail-oriented and collaborative approach to everything you do. This is a fantastic opportunity to work on some of the most unique and iconic buildings in our global portfolio, and to progress your career in an organisation that values you for you.

We’re always looking to improve – just like you. That’s why when you join us, expect to receive a competitive salary, generous holiday entitlement and a Civil Service Pension. Along with this, you’ll also have access to training and other development opportunities to help grow your career with us. Our offices have an on-site gym, nursery, café, and restaurant, and we offer interest-free loans on season tickets and bikes to help you get there.

It's a great set of benefits made to support all you do, and all you need.
