Senior Project Quantity Surveyor 

Lead commercial delivery on major civils projects across the UK & Ireland. 

About the Company 

You'll be joining a fast-growing civil engineering contractor known for delivering complex infrastructure projects with speed, quality, and serious commercial discipline. The team has grown past 150 people, with major frameworks secured and long-term expansion already underway. It's a place where progression is real, talent is backed, and high performers move up quickly. Expect a supportive culture, strong leadership, and a pipeline that keeps careers moving. 

What You'll Be Doing 

You'll take full commercial ownership of high-value civils projects - from early cost planning to final account. This role is hands-on, strategic, and central to project success. 

Your responsibilities include: 

• Leading commercial delivery across earthworks, deep digs, roads & highways 
• Managing cost plans, forecasts, valuations, and financial reporting 
• Running procurement, subcontractor negotiations, and contract administration 
• Handling variations, compensation events, and change control 
• Advising teams on NEC/JCT contracts and commercial risk 
• Working closely with planners, estimators, engineers, and site teams 
• Travelling 3 nights per week, with 1 hybrid day for flexibility 
• Closing out projects with clean, timely final accounts 

 Why This Role Stands Out 

This is a high-impact position in a company that's scaling fast. You'll have autonomy, visibility, and the chance to shape major civils projects across multiple regions. 

What makes it a standout opportunity: 

• Clear promotion pathways mapped out 
• Exposure to complex, high-value infrastructure work 
• A growing business with long-term stability 
• A culture that backs ambition and rewards ownership 

Perks & Benefits 

• Car or car allowance 
• Pension scheme 
• Life insurance 
• Hybrid working options 
• Paid travel & accommodation 
• Strong internal progression 
• Supportive, growing commercial team 

Who You Are 

You're an experienced QS with strong civils exposure and the confidence to lead commercial delivery. You're proactive, detail-focused, and comfortable being the commercial voice on major projects. 

You'll thrive here if you have: 

• • Civils experience (earthworks, roads, highways) 
  • Strong NEC/JCT knowledge 
  • Ability to manage commercial risk and stakeholder relationships 
  • Willingness to travel across the UK & Ireland 
  • A strategic mindset and sharp commercial instincts
