Long‑Term Contract

An opportunity has arisen for an experienced Senior Quantity Surveyor to join one of the UK's leading Tier 1 infrastructure contractors on a flagship water treatment project just outside of London.

This is a key commercial appointment on a high‑profile scheme that is currently at an early stage. The project forms part of a substantial long‑term framework programme, offering security, continuity of work and the chance to play a pivotal role in the successful delivery of critical infrastructure.

The Role

Working as part of a high‑performing commercial team, you will take ownership of key project elements, ensuring robust commercial management throughout the project lifecycle.

• Procurement and management of subcontract packages
• Contract administration (NEC) and commercial governance
• Change management and compensation event assessment
• Review and agreement of subcontractor accounts and claims
• Management of project risk and opportunities
• Supporting project delivery teams with commercial advice and challenge
• Ensuring accurate cost control and cash flow management
• Contributing to project commercial strategy as the scheme transitions into construction

About You

We are keen to speak with commercially astute Quantity Surveyors who can demonstrate strong fundamentals in:

• Cost control and project forecasting
• Procurement and subcontract management
• Managing change and commercial risk
• Assessment and negotiation of subcontractor claims
• Commercial reporting and stakeholder management

Whilst experience within the water sector would be highly advantageous, we are equally interested in candidates from major civil engineering infrastructure backgrounds.

Experience working for a Tier 1 contractor and operating within complex NEC contracting environments would be particularly beneficial.

Why Apply?

• Long‑term contract opportunity
• High‑value, technically complex infrastructure project
• Major framework‑backed programme
• Strong pipeline of future work;
• Opportunity to work with one of the UK's most respected infrastructure contractors
• Excellent day rate available
