Within this role, you can enjoy competitive annual holiday entitlement with opportunities to buy/sell leave, a fantastic, matched pension scheme, a share in the success you help to create by investing in Kier through our Sharesave and Share Incentive Plans, and even more.

Can you envision a world without transportation links by land, sea, or air? Neither can we! Your journey is our journey. Join us at Kier Transportation, where we are working brilliantly together to make a difference, supporting the movement of people, goods, and equipment.

Location: Southwark, London

Hours: 45 hours per week

What will you be responsible for?

As Senior Quantity Surveyor, you'll be working within the Commercial team, supporting them in delivering a wide range of highway maintenance works including reactive incident response, winter services, planned maintenance, and preventative works that keep the highway defect free and traffic flowing around the network. The client budget for these services is approximately 20 million per year.

Your day-to-day will include:

• Subcontract management, procurement/task order instructions, payments, change control management, revenue claims, and WiP management
• Pricing of works, agreeing prices with the client, and attending client meetings
• Providing month-end reporting; CVRs, revenue claims, and WiP/debt management
• Supporting with the commercial forecasts based on client annual budgets, regularly updating the forecast based on client spends
• Guiding junior members of the Commercial team

What are we looking for?

This role of Senior Quantity Surveyor is ideal if:

• You hold a degree in Quantity Surveying or Civil Engineering, with previous experience within a commercially focused environment and an understanding of the Highways Method of Measurement
• You have knowledge of pricing highway works and can handle large volumes of data, given the nature of highway maintenance works
• You demonstrate experience in controlling and managing all subcontractor elements with detailed contract experience using the NEC form of contract and various options

We're all about finding potential here at Kier, and transferable skills are always welcome! So, even if you don't tick every box, please apply, and we can have a chat.
