If you're ready to advance your Quantity Surveying career in a role that combines purpose, challenge, and impact, this is your opportunity. At VIVO, we're seeking a driven and forward-thinking Quantity Surveyor to join our team, supporting critical defence infrastructure projects that serve those who serve us.

This role involves more than just numbers; it's about leveraging your commercial expertise in a complex, fast-paced environment where precision, value, and collaboration are key. You will be responsible for scoping and pricing voids, ensuring value for money, and maintaining strong commercial control across various high-profile projects.

You will collaborate with operational and site teams, the Defence Infrastructure Organisation (DIO), and supply chain partners to ensure projects are completed on time and within budget. Your tasks will include commercial reporting, cost modelling, risk management, and change control, covering the full project lifecycle.

Building relationships, leading continuous improvement, supporting dispute resolution, and mentoring colleagues will be integral parts of your role. To succeed, you should have experience in construction, property maintenance, or facilities management, with knowledge of pricing frameworks, cost control, and financial analysis. A qualification in Quantity Surveying or equivalent experience is preferred, especially if you have worked in a military or MOD environment.

We value individuals who think critically, communicate effectively, and collaborate across levels. At VIVO, we appreciate technical skills and people who thrive in a fast-paced, purpose-driven environment. Confidence, proactivity, attention to detail, and a strong ethical sense are essential.

Joining VIVO means becoming part of a supportive, innovative, and growing organization with opportunities for professional development and career advancement. If you are eager to support national defence infrastructure and grow your career, this role is for you.

VIVO provides facilities management and accommodation maintenance for the UK military and partners, embodying experience and innovation.
