Job description

Galliford Try's Infrastructure team is seeking a Senior Quantity Surveyor for a major highways scheme in Bedford. The vacancy concerns commercial performance on civil-engineering work and requires coordination with clients, subcontractors and the operational team. The surveyor will prepare and negotiate subcontract terms, prices and programmes, then manage interim assessments and subsequent changes.

Responsibilities include issuing commercial notices and preparing compensation-event quotations. The post also covers client payment applications, maintenance of supporting site records and production of monthly financial reports. Cost-value reconciliation and expenditure tracking form part of the required cost-planning work.

The employer asks for an understanding of NEC contracts and experience on either a large scheme or several smaller projects. A relevant degree, equivalent qualification or suitable commercial experience is accepted. Candidates should be competent with Excel, Word, CEMAR and Oracle, and hold an appropriate CSCS qualification.

Professional membership such as MCIOB or MRICS is desirable rather than essential.

The advertised benefits include:

• pension provision
• service-related holiday increases
• family leave
• payment for membership of one relevant professional association

Full-time, part-time and flexible working requests can be discussed during recruitment.
