Job description

Build your career with a growing specialist contractor

EHV Structures Limited is looking for an experienced Quantity Surveyor to take ownership of the commercial performance of our projects.

This is a hands-on role with real influence. You'll have the opportunity to protect and improve margin, drive cash, manage contracts and shape the way we run our commercial function as the business grows.

You'll work closely with project delivery, procurement, finance, clients and our supply chain — with the autonomy to make decisions and see the impact of your work.

The role can be based anywhere in the UK, with travel to sites and client meetings as required.

What you'll be doing

• Own the commercial performance of projects from handover to final account.
• Review and negotiate NEC, JCT and bespoke contracts.
• Identify and recover variations, compensation events, EOTs and loss & expense.
• Lead applications for payment, valuations and final accounts.
• Manage commercial risk while maximising project opportunities.
• Work with procurement to secure the best commercial outcomes from our supply chain.
• Lead monthly commercial reviews and provide clear, commercially focused reporting.
• Support tenders, pricing and project handovers.
• Help develop commercial systems and processes as the business grows.
• Mentor and develop junior commercial team members.

What we're looking for

We're looking for a commercially driven QS who wants more than simply producing reports.

You'll ideally have:

• Experience as a Quantity Surveyor, Senior QS or Commercial Manager.
• Strong contract and commercial knowledge.
• Experience managing CVRs, forecasting, valuations, variations and final accounts.
• The confidence to challenge, negotiate and make commercial decisions.
• A practical, hands‑on approach and the ability to work closely with project teams.
• A QS, Commercial Management or related qualification is desirable.

Experience in EHV/substations, electrical infrastructure, structural steelwork, fabrication or specialist installation would be a bonus, but isn't essential.

Why join EHV Structures?

This is an opportunity to join a growing specialist contractor where commercial people have a genuine voice.

You'll get:

• Real ownership of projects and commercial outcomes.
• Exposure to a broad range of contracts, projects and commercial challenges.
• A collaborative environment where commercial and operational teams work together.
• The opportunity to develop and progress as the business grows.
