Senior Quantity Surveyor - Civil Engineering

Senior Quantity Surveyor (SQS) – Take Commercial Control

We’re looking for a Senior Quantity Surveyor to step into a key commercial leadership role within a thriving regional civils business, driving performance across a large civils framework.

This company operates on a self‑delivery model, giving you more control, influence and real ownership of outcomes from day one.

Hit the ground running. Your first challenge is a large highways project starting soon. It is complex, high‑impact and you will be front and centre, shaping delivery from the outset.

This is a predominantly site‑based role, so if you thrive in the action and want visibility on what you deliver, this is for you.

• Lead commercial delivery of highways schemes to maximise profitability and performance
• Own budgets, forecasting, CVRs and cash flow with confidence and accuracy
• Take charge of NEC contract management – early warnings, compensation events and change control
• Procure and manage subcontractors within a true self‑delivery environment
• Drive value engineering and efficiency across projects and the wider framework
• Be the go‑to commercial lead for the client, building strong, trusted relationships
• Mentor and support junior team members
• Work side‑by‑side with delivery teams to align commercial strategy with site performance

• Company car or allowance
• Private healthcare
• Pension and life assurance
• 25 days holiday plus your birthday off
• Enhanced family leave
• Flexible / hybrid working where possible
• Clear development and progression opportunities

• Proven Senior QS (or strong QS ready to step up) in civil engineering or highways
• Track record of delivering end‑to‑end commercial management
• Strong NEC contract expertise (essential)
• Skilled in forecasting, cost control and change management
• Confident managing clients and stakeholders
• Commercially sharp with strong negotiation skills
• Experience in a self‑delivery or principal contractor environment is desirable

Ready for more than just a project? This is your chance to own a framework, lead commercially and make a visible impact.
