Senior Quantity Surveyor

Senior Quantity Surveyor - Civil Engineering & Infrastructure

Shape Major Projects. Drive Commercial Success.

Join a leading UK infrastructure contractor delivering complex civil engineering projects across water, energy, transport, and the built environment. With a strong pipeline of secured work and long-term frameworks, this is an opportunity to become part of a business where commercial expertise has a direct impact on project performance and profitability.

Working across schemes ranging from £200k to £10m+, you'll play a key role in driving value, influencing strategy, and ensuring successful project delivery.

The Role

As a Quantity Surveyor, you'll work closely with operational teams and act as the commercial lead across a range of projects.

Responsibilities include:

* Producing and managing cost value reconciliations (CVR), forecasting, and cash flow reporting.

* Procuring and managing subcontract packages, including negotiation and account management.

* Administering NEC3/NEC4 and IChemE contracts, managing change control, risk, and compensation events.

* Identifying commercial opportunities and mitigating potential risks.

* Supporting project teams to improve efficiency and maximise margins.

* Building and maintaining strong relationships with clients and supply chain partners.

This is a position where you'll do far more than report figures — you'll help shape project outcomes.
