Role Overview :
Due to continued growth within their Southern Integrated Delivery CP7 rail framework, my client is looking to appoint a Quantity Surveyor or Assistant Quantity Surveyor to join their commercial team delivering long-term rail civils and earthworks projects across the Southern region. This is an excellent opportunity for a QS with 1-2 years' experience to develop within a structured commercial team, working closely with Senior QS's and gaining hands-on exposure to NEC contract administration, subcontract management, and project cost control across multiple rail schemes.

Projects sit within a long-term framework, delivering rail earthworks, drainage, and associated civils packages. While earthworks experience is beneficial, candidates with exposure to rail disciplines such as p-way, electrification, signalling, or general civils will also be considered. The role will suit someone from a main contractor background (NWR or HS2 experience preferred), with strong subcontract management exposure and a developing understanding of NEC Option A or E contracts.

Key Responsibilities:

· Assist in the commercial management of NEC Option A/E rail civils projects
· Prepare and maintain CVRs, cost reports, and weekly commercial reporting
· Support procurement of subcontract packages and maintain subcontract accounts
· Manage subcontractor performance, valuations, and payment applications
· Assist with early warnings, compensation events, and contract administration
· Support cost forecasting, forecasting accuracy, and value reconciliation
· Attend site and project meetings as required
· Liaise with operational teams to support delivery and commercial awareness
· Maintain accurate commercial records and support risk management processes Essential Requirements:
· 1-2 years' experience in a Quantity Surveying role (or Assistant QS level)
· Experience working for a main contractor on rail projects
· Exposure to NEC contracts (Option A and/or E ideally)
· Strong understanding of subcontract management and CVRs
· Experience in procurement and basic commercial reporting
· Strong communication and willingness to develop within rail infrastructure

Desirable Requirements :
· Experience in rail civils, earthworks, drainage, or structures
· Exposure to NWR, HS2, or similar infrastructure environments
· Knowledge of p-way, electrification, or signalling packages
· Degree/HNC/HND in Quantity Surveying or similar
· Ambition to progress towards QS / Senior QS level This is a fantastic opportunity to join a long-term rail framework with a strong pipeline of secured work and genuine development into a fully autonomous Quantity Surveyor role within a supportive commercial team.
