A highly regarded and exceptionally busy construction consultancy client is seeking an experienced Executive Quantity Surveyor to join their growing South West team. With a strong reputation for delivering complex infrastructure schemes and a healthy pipeline of secured work, this is an outstanding opportunity to join a consultancy that is both stable and expanding.

The Role

This position will ultimately be based out of the Bristol office (long-term). However the current live project requires 3 days per week on site in Exeter, with the remaining 1-2 days working from home. All travel to site is paid/covered.

You will take a key commercial lead on a major battery energy storage scheme - a significant greenfield development spanning approximately 300 acres, including a 1.5km connection into the transmission substation. The programme is circa 2 years in duration, offering long-term project exposure from delivery through to completion.

This is a career-defining opportunity to work on a flagship renewable energy infrastructure scheme with real complexity and scale.

Key Responsibilities

• Commercial leadership across a large-scale energy infrastructure project
• Contract administration and commercial management under NEC4 ECC
• Managing change control, compensation events, valuations and reporting
• Working closely with project delivery teams and client stakeholders
• Supporting risk management and commercial strategy
• Ensuring contractual compliance across the lifecycle of the project

Requirements

• Executive / Senior-level QS with 7+ years' experience
• Strong background in infrastructure
• Power / HV / Transmission experience preferred or heavy civil engineering experience
• Must be fully NEC4 ECC literate
• FIDIC experience advantageous
• Comfortable working 3 days per week in Exeter (travel paid)
• Happy to be Bristol office-based long term

What’s on Offer

• £65,000 - £75,000 salary
• Travel expenses covered for Exeter site days
• Flexible hybrid working (1-2 days from home)
• High-profile renewable energy project exposure
• Long-term career stability within a respected consultancy
• Clear progression at Executive level

If you\'re an experienced Exec QS looking to step into a major renewable infrastructure scheme with a consultancy that is thriving and well-respected in the market, I\'d be delighted to discuss this further. Please get in touch for a confidential conversation with Andreea Hudson at Aldwych Consulting.
