I am currently representing a leading UK main contractor with a strong presence in the energy and infrastructure sectors, who are looking to appoint a Quantity Surveyor to support delivery of a major National Grid framework across Yorkshire.

This is a long-term programme of works focused on critical upgrades to the high-voltage power network. The project scope is varied and technically engaging, encompassing extensive earthworks, construction of multiple small civil structures, and upgrades to key elements of the transmission infrastructure.

• Assisting with the preparation and submission of compensation events and variations
• Subcontract procurement, valuation, and payment administration
• Measurement, interim applications, and contribution to final accounts
• Working closely with site teams and planners to ensure commercial controls align with programme delivery

Suitable candidates are likely to demonstrate:

• Experience as a Quantity Surveyor within civil engineering, infrastructure, or utilities
• A solid working knowledge of NEC contracts, with a desire to deepen technical and contractual expertise
• Strong numerical, analytical, and commercial skills
• A collaborative approach and the confidence to engage with operational and commercial stakeholders
• Experience across earthworks, structures, utilities, or power-related projects (advantageous but not essential)
• Residence within a reasonable commuting distance of York or Leeds

• Competitive starting salary of 48,000 to 58,000
• 6,000 car allowance or company car
• 27 days annual leave plus bank holidays
• Pension contribution
• Private healthcare
• Annual bonus
• Long-term work secured through a flagship National Grid framework

This role offers the opportunity to develop your career within a blue-chip contractor, working on a nationally significant energy infrastructure programme. You will benefit from long-term stability, exposure to complex NEC-based projects, and clear progression routes within a supportive commercial structure.
