Managing Quantity Surveyor

I'm recruiting for an award-winning, family-run civil engineering contractor looking for a Managing Quantity Surveyor to lead a team of seven Quantity Surveyors. Based in Leicestershire, you'll oversee the commercial performance of a business unit with a turnover of around £40m, delivering highways, infrastructure, bridgeworks and public realm schemes across the Midlands and East of England.

You'll set the commercial priorities for the team, review project forecasts and financial performance, and work with operational teams to address risks early. You'll also work closely with clients and directors, giving them a clear picture of how projects are performing and where decisions are needed.

Developing the Quantity Surveying team is an important part of the role. You'll coach surveyors through commercial decisions, help them build confidence in managing their own projects and step in when more complex issues need senior input.

I'm keen to speak with people who have a strong civil engineering contractor background and experience leading a commercial team. If you enjoy developing people while staying close to the projects, there's a strong pipeline of work and scope to make a lasting impact on how the team operates.
