We do what we say - That's why we need people like you, to help us deliver on our promises. People who enjoy getting things done with a focus on cost controls and profitability.

We have a great opportunity for a Quantity Surveyor to join our high-performing commercial team.

As the utilities sector continues to evolve, this role offers the chance to contribute to smarter, more sustainable ways of delivering critical infrastructure.

Your work directly supports our ability to invest in innovation, greener working practices and long-term infrastructure that benefits communities now and in the future.

Here are some of the activities you will be involved in...

Experience managing subcontractors and supporting high-volume works is highly desirable, as is a willingness to support and develop junior team members.

You'll be an effective communicator who enjoys building strong relationships with clients and colleagues, and you'll hold a full UK driving licence with the flexibility to travel to site when required.
