Job description

Energy Jobline is the largest and fastest growing global Energy Job Board and Energy Hub. We have an audience reach of over 7 million energy professionals, 400,000+ monthly advertised global energy and engineering jobs, and work with the leading energy companies worldwide.

We focus on the Oil & Gas, Renewables, Engineering, Power, and Nuclear markets as well as emerging technologies in EV, Battery, and Fusion. We are committed to ensuring that we offer the most exciting career opportunities from around the world for our jobseekers.

Job Description

We’re seeking an experienced Quantity Surveyor with 3+ years of experience to support a range of diverse, high-impact projects. Sustainability is at the heart of everything we do — from innovative design solutions to responsible project delivery — giving you the opportunity to make a lasting, positive impact through your work.

This is a unique opportunity to play a key role in establishing our growing presence, with clear routes for career progression and the chance to take ownership of high-profile, large-scale projects across the Oxford–Cambridge Arc. From day one, you’ll be part of a B Corp‑certified consultancy, with a proven track record in delivering transformative infrastructure.

That means every decision you make and every project you lead directly contributes to creating a lasting positive impact.

We’re not here to deliver average. We’re here to build smarter, more sustainable, and future-focused — shaping places that stand the test of time and make a meaningful impact.

So, what makes this different? You’ll play a pivotal role in a collaborative, fast-moving team, taking ownership of projects from inception to completion, building strong client relationships, developing leadership skills, and laying the foundations for your next career leap.

And you’ll do all this in a company that truly stands apart. We’re the world’s first Chartered Surveyors to become a certified B Corp, and proud winners of the Queen’s Award for Enterprise in Sustainable Development.

Our purpose is real — we use business as a force for good, with People, Place, and Planet at the heart of everything we do.

Responsibilities

• Own projects end-to-end, bringing your expertise to the table and driving every detail to deliver outstanding results.

Requirements

• Minimum of 2 years PQS experience in consultancy construction project management.
• MRICS qualification or equivalent professional qualification, or a clear commitment to achieving chartered status.
• Strong knowledge of construction methodologies, design coordination, procurement, and contract administration.
• Proven experience in budgeting, cost control, value engineering, and maximising project profitability while maintaining quality.
• Experience in managing NEC, JCT, and other contract forms to ensure commercial success.
• Skill in identifying, assessing, and mitigating project risks to prevent impacts on timelines or budgets.
• Excellent interpersonal skills, with ability to build and maintain relationships with clients, contractors, consultants, and internal teams.
• Ability to manage complex project timelines and deliver milestones on schedule.
• Highly proficient in Microsoft 365 and cost management software (e.g., CADMeasure, iTWO CostX).
• Knowledge of regulatory standards, health & safety requirements, and internal quality benchmarks.
• Strong communication skills, able to report progress, challenges, and strategies clearly to leadership and clients.

Why us?

• Hybrid working with flexible hours in the office to foster collaboration.
• Competitive salary that rewards your skills and experience.
• Tailored training and development to help you reach your goals.
• Generous 38 days of annual leave, including public holidays.
• Your birthday off to celebrate in style.
• Enhanced maternity and paternity leave for growing families.
• Employer pension contributions of 6% to secure your future.
• Life Cover worth three times your salary for peace of mind.
• Access to Aviva Digicare+ with virtual GP and wellness support.
• Comprehensive in-house wellbeing services.
• Opportunities for charitable fundraising and dedicated volunteering days.
• Active participation in professional and industry organisations.
• Regular sports and social events to build connections.

Be part of a culture that values you, not just for what you do, but who you are.
