I’m currently working with a leading infrastructure consultancy that is looking to appoint a Senior Quantity Surveyor to join its growing team in Cheltenham.

This is an excellent opportunity for an experienced Quantity Surveyor looking to step into a senior role or an established Senior Quantity Surveyor seeking greater project variety. You’ll work across a diverse portfolio of projects within Highways, Rail, Water, Utilities and Major Infrastructure.

Unlike many positions that focus on a single framework or client, this role offers exposure to major national infrastructure programmes alongside regional transport and local authority projects. With a strong pipeline of work across the South West and wider UK, it’s an exciting time to join the business.

The Role

You’ll lead the delivery of pre and post-contract commercial services across multiple infrastructure projects, managing client relationships and supporting junior members of the commercial team.

Responsibilities include:

• Cost planning and commercial management
• NEC3 & NEC4 contract administration
• Managing compensation events and change control
• Commercial reporting and forecasting
• Procurement support
• Valuations and payment assessments
• Client and stakeholder management
• Mentoring junior Quantity Surveyors
• Supporting projects from inception through to completion

What We’re Looking For

• Previous Senior Quantity Surveying experience within Infrastructure
• Strong NEC3 or NEC4 contract knowledge
• Consultancy, contractor or client-side experience
• Excellent commercial awareness
• Strong communication and leadership skills
• Experience across Highways, Rail, Water, Utilities or Major Infrastructure

What’s on Offer?

• Salary up to £65,000
• Hybrid working
• Competitive pension scheme (up to 10% employer contribution)
• 25 days annual leave plus bank holidays
• Fully funded professional development and training
• Chartership support
• Exposure to a broad range of high-profile infrastructure projects
• Clear career progression within a growing consultancy
• Excellent work-life balance and supportive team culture

Location

The role is based in Cheltenham with hybrid working available. Candidates should ideally be within commuting distance of the office, although those considering relocation may also be considered.

If you’re a Senior Quantity Surveyor looking to join a respected consultancy with an excellent project pipeline and genuine career progression opportunities, I’d be keen to discuss this opportunity further.
