Senior Electrical Quantity Surveyor

If you’re an experienced Electrical QS who prefers owning the commercial life of a project rather than just reporting on it, this role is built around you. From tender to final account, you’ll be the person who protects margin, manages change and keeps everything commercially clean, accurate and justifiable.

This isn’t a passive, paperwork‑only role. You’ll be embedded in the project team, shaping decisions, controlling cost, and making sure commercial surprises don’t appear when it’s too late to do anything about them.

What You’ll Be Doing

• Building and managing budgets, reports, BOQs and profit plans with a high degree of accuracy.
• Leading interim commercial meetings with clients and internal teams — and clearly reporting commercial positions to the Project Manager.
• Managing subcontractor accounts, interim valuations and final accounts, ensuring payments are processed correctly and retentions are handled per contract.
• Issuing interim and final accounts, including accurate remeasures, site changes, dayworks and any contract claims worth pursuing.
• Flagging commercial risks early and escalating them appropriately to Senior Management.
• Working closely with the Planning Engineer to align scheduling with real commercial implications, not assumptions.
• Costing and agreeing daily work changes, including subcontractor remeasurement, dayworks and site variations.
• Keeping detailed, reliable commercial records that stand up under scrutiny.
• Prioritising your workload without hand‑holding — speed and accuracy both matter here.
• Negotiating with clients or their representatives when required.
• Setting a standard of professionalism, drive and work ethic for others to follow.
• Upholding strong information security practices in line with the company’s ISMS.

Who You Are

A Senior QS who knows the commercial heartbeat of a job better than anyone else. You’re someone who can influence outcomes, keep projects financially healthy, and communicate the truth of the numbers — even when the truth isn’t pretty.

You take ownership, manage your time, and don’t need to be micromanaged. And you understand that good commercial control doesn’t just protect the company — it protects the project team too.
