Senior Quantity Surveyor - Major Infrastructure Project, Grays, Essex, £55,000 to £65,000 + £4,000 car allowance/company car + package

I'm working with a major UK infrastructure contractor who are looking for a driven Senior Quantity Surveyor to join their site based delivery team on a £1bn infrastructure project in the South East.

The scheme includes nearly 20km of complex highways construction, new bridges and viaducts, major utility diversions and some of the most significant infrastructure work currently taking place in the UK.

This is a delivery-focused commercial role, working closely with construction teams, subcontractors and the client across a large number of high value packages of work.

The role will involve:

• Leading the day-to-day commercial management of large packages of work
• Administration of NEC target cost contracts
• Managing defined/disallowed cost, compensation events and pain/gain mechanisms
• Cost forecasting, CVRs and commercial reporting
• Owning change control, early warnings and compensation events
• Managing subcontractor accounts, payments, variations and final accounts
• Working with delivery and design teams to manage commercial risk and utility interfaces

You'll need:

• Strong highways, civils or major infrastructure experience on UK based projects
• Solid NEC experience, ideally within target-cost environments
• Strong understanding of change, risk and cost management
• A degree or equivalent qualification in Quantity Surveying
• RICS, CIOB or ICES membership, or working towards it
• CSCS Professional Qualified Person card

What's On Offer?

Alongside excellent career progression and the opportunity to work on a landmark project, you'll also be given a great work life balance and a generous package that includes:

• Starting salary of £55,000-£65,000 (based on experience)
• £4,000 car allowance or company car
• 25 days annual leave + bank holidays
• Option to buy up to 10 additional days
• Private healthcare
• Pension
• Flexible/smart working arrangements where applicable

If you're a Senior QS looking for a genuinely career-defining infrastructure project, this is one worth having a conversation about.
