Are you an experienced Commercial professional looking to expand your skills and experience?

Our purpose is taking care of life’s essentials, but we’re also big on making a difference, not just because we should but because we care.

Which is why we are investing over £2billion into construction projects over the next five years to improve the services we provide.

Within our Capital Commercial Department, we are looking for an Assistant Quantity Surveyor to join our Waste Infrastructure team in either our Finham (Coventry) or Raynesway (Derby) offices.

EVERYTHING YOU NEED TO KNOW

We’re looking for an Assistant Quantity Surveyor who is up for something different, to join a successful, diverse and highly engaged team within our Capital Commercial department.

In this role you’ll negotiate contracts and provide commercial support throughout delivery, working closely with our design and delivery teams to manage internal and external stakeholders.

Supporting our Project Managers to make sure contracts are managed, including assessment of contract events and applications for payment, issuing contract notifications, and leading on dispute resolution.

Key to your success in the role will be the confidence to develop sourcing and contract strategies, and to draft, test and negotiate work orders with our contractors.

In return, we will support you every step of the way in your career journey with us, and that includes sponsoring your professional qualifications and investing in your ongoing development through our career progression framework.

The right skills and experience are important. But if you have the right character, positivity and a caring attitude we want to talk to you, too.

We welcome people from all walks of life and celebrate individuality as we know diverse minds, experiences and backgrounds help us to learn and better serve our communities. We want people who show up and get involve. Those who are ready to be part of something bigger and who want to make a difference because they care. Is that you?

We do more, because we care.

And we’ll also help you play your part in looking after the environment and the community in which we live. Here’s some of our favourites:

28 days holiday + bank holidays (and the ability to buy/ sell up to 5 additional days per year)
Annual bonus scheme (of up to £2,250 depending on company performance)
