About The Role

At EKFB, we're shaping Infrastructure for a better tomorrow for everyone. Do you want to work in a dynamic, ever-evolving environment? EKFB might be the place for you.

You don’t have to be an engineer to work in engineering, so come on board and let’s do something exceptional together.

We're looking for a Quantity Surveyor to join our commercial team in our Greatworth to Southam section of works. You'll report into our Commercial Manager for the section and will be responsible for tender pricing; risk assessments and contract drafting / negotiations.

You will need to build strong working relationships with the client, and key colleagues both internally and externally. A key art of this role will be contract administration which includes data reporting and record keeping.

You will be responsible for subcontract account management and payment, dispute management and you must contribute to project performance discussions, providing commercial input to project strategy.
