Quantity Surveyor

United Infrastructure is a UK-based infrastructure services company delivering critical energy, power, water, telecoms and social infrastructure projects. Following the acquisition of Wood’s UK Transmission & Distribution business, United Infrastructure has strengthened its capabilities in power engineering, construction and asset optimisation, supporting grid resilience and the transition to a low‑carbon energy system. The company partners with public and private clients to deliver safe, sustainable and future‑ready infrastructure across the UK.

Due to significant growth across our Transmission and Distribution business, United Infrastructure is seeking an established Quantity Surveyor to support our growing workload within the Commercial area of our business.

This role involves post‑award contract administration, provision of commercial and contract deliverables, implementation of project plans; undertaking costs analysis, preparation of cash‑flow forecasts, developing subcontracting commercial strategy as required; contributing to internal project reviews and developing project forecasts. You will enjoy the challenges of the project just starting construction, monitoring execution to tight deadlines, identifying United Infrastructure entitlement and managing performance within budgets.
