Job description

We’re hiring a Senior QS / Commercial Lead to take ownership of a major package at Hinkley Point C — a nationally critical nuclear energy development that’s reshaping the future of UK power generation.

This is a permanent role, embedded in the turbine island scope, working alongside a world-class team delivering cutting-edge nuclear technology. You’ll be the commercial lead for subcontractor management, cost control, and contract performance — with full visibility across delivery and reporting.

You’ll be working under NEC3 Option C, driving compliance, managing change, and producing weekly reports that inform programme decisions. It’s a role for someone who understands the mechanics of large infrastructure delivery and knows how to turn commercial insight into action.

What you’ll be doing:

• Managing subcontractor accounts and relationships
• Leading weekly commercial reporting and forecasting
• Administering contracts under NEC3 Option C
• Supporting cost control, risk management, and change processes
• Collaborating with engineering and delivery teams to align commercial strategy with operational goals

What we’re looking for:

• Strong NEC3 experience (Option C essential)
• Background in large infrastructure, energy, or nuclear projects
• Confident communicator with a sharp commercial mind
• Able to work on-site at Hinkley Point C (Somerset)

This isn’t just another QS job. It’s a chance to be part of a nationally significant project, where your work directly impacts the UK’s energy future. You’ll be trusted to lead, supported to grow, and challenged to deliver.

You’ll be joining a team that values precision, collaboration, and accountability — and you’ll be working with some of the most advanced turbine technology in the world.

We welcome applications from every walk of life and are committed to diversity within the industries we support, as a certified Inclusive Recruiter and Armed Forces friendly employer.
