Job description

Senior Quantity Surveyor - Power Infrastructure Framework | York / Leeds

Salary: £55,000 to £68,000 + £6,000-£7,000 travel allowance + package

Are you a Senior Quantity Surveyor looking for long-term security on a nationally significant programme? I'm recruiting on behalf of a leading UK main contractor for a Senior QS to join a major, multi-year National Grid framework delivering critical power infrastructure upgrades across Yorkshire.

This is a substantial programme focused on strengthening and enabling the high-voltage electricity transmission network. The works are technically diverse, spanning extensive earthworks, multiple small civil structures, and upgrades to key elements of the transmission infrastructure. If you want variety, stability, and genuine progression, this ticks every box.

The Role

As Senior Quantity Surveyor, you'll take day-to-day commercial ownership of defined work packages across the framework, working closely alongside the Managing QS. It's a highly visible position within the commercial team - offering real autonomy with strong support behind you.

Day to day, you'll be responsible for:

• Full commercial management of NEC contracts (primarily ECC Option C) from early works through to final account
• Cost control, CVR reporting, and forecasting across complex civil and power infrastructure works
• Management and agreement of compensation events and contract variations
• Subcontract procurement, measurement, and commercial administration
• Collaborative working with site teams, planners, and the client to drive value and manage risk
• Contributing to continuous improvement initiatives across the framework programme

About You

• Proven track record as a Senior Quantity Surveyor, or a strong intermediate QS ready to step up, within civil engineering or infrastructure
• Sound working knowledge of the NEC suite of contracts - ideally ECC Option C
• Strong commercial acumen with the confidence to manage client relationships and internal stakeholders
• Experience across earthworks, structures, utilities, or power and energy infrastructure projects
• A practical, delivery-focused approach suited to live, operational construction sites
• Based within a reasonable commute of York or Leeds, given the site-based nature of the role

The Package

My client is offering a highly competitive package with genuine career progression on a long-term, secure framework. The successful Senior Quantity Surveyor can expect:

• Salary £55,000 to £68,000 but flexible for the right candidate
• £7,000 annual travel allowance or company car
• 27 days annual leave plus bank holidays
• Pension contribution
• Private healthcare
• Annual bonus scheme
• Long-term workload on a nationally significant framework with clear progression opportunities

Why This Role?

This isn't a short-term project placement. This is a stable, high-value National Grid framework with a contractor known for investing in its people and promoting from within. You'll get challenging, technically interesting work, a supportive commercial team, and a genuine pathway to progress your career.
