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.

Responsibilities:

• 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

• 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.
