Senior Quantity Surveyor

Senior Quantity Surveyor, Power & Energy Infrastructure

Location: Motherwell (minimum 3 days per week in the office)

Salary: £60,000 - £73,000 + car allowance, pension, private healthcare, 25 days annual leave

I'm currently working on behalf of a leading UK main contractor delivering a long‑term programme of works for a major energy provider across Scotland. Due to continued growth on the framework, they are now looking to appoint a Senior Quantity Surveyor to support a portfolio of power and energy upgrade works across the region.

The Senior Quantity Surveyor will be commercially responsible for a range of works including:

• Major substation upgrades
• Power and wider infrastructure improvements
• Associated enabling and supporting works across the SSE network

The role offers genuine variety, long‑term security, and the opportunity to work on technically complex, regulated infrastructure within a well‑established delivery team.

• Full commercial management of projects from early works through to final account
• Administration and management of NEC contracts (primarily NEC3/NEC4)
• Cost forecasting, change control, CVRs, and reporting
• Managing subcontractor procurement and commercial performance
• Working closely with project managers, planners, and the wider commercial team

• Proven experience working as a Senior Quantity Surveyor (or an experienced QS ready to step up) within the infrastructure or utilities sectors
• NEC contract experience is essential
• HV / power experience is highly advantageous but not essential
• Strong commercial acumen with the ability to manage multiple work streams
• Able to attend the Motherwell office at least 3 days per week

My client can offer an excellent work life balance with hybrid working, excellent career prospects and exposure to a wide range of exciting projects. They can also offer a competitive salary & package that includes:

• Salary between £60,000 - £73,000 (dependent on experience)
• £4,200 car allowance
• Pension and private healthcare
• 25 days annual leave plus bank holidays
• Long‑term work on a stable, well‑funded framework with SSE
• Clear progression within a contractor known for developing and retaining talent

If you're a Quantity Surveyor with strong NEC experience looking to move into‑or further establish yourself in‑the power and energy sector, this is a role well worth exploring.
