Quantity Surveyor

Quantity Surveyor | £300m+ Major Energy Infrastructure
Location: Enfield, Hoddesdon, or Bishops Stortford (Site-based 4 days per week)
Salary: £40,000 - £52,000 (DOE) + £6,000 Car Allowance + Top-Tier Package
Sector: Energy & Transmission | Contractor-Side | NEC4 Option C

I am currently partnering with one of the UK's leading infrastructure contractors to source a driven Quantity Surveyor for a flagship £300m+ energy transmission project in the South East.

Major mega-projects like this are demanding, but they are also career accelerators. Because this scheme is still in its early stages, you won't be inheriting messy, half-finished commercial structures. Instead, you will be working closely with the Senior Commercial team to set up the commercial frameworks, manage complex NEC4 target-cost subcontracts, and secure your own pathway to a Senior QS title.

If you have cut your teeth in civil engineering or infrastructure and are looking for a high-profile scheme to put on your CV, this is the project to do it on.

What You'll Be Doing

• Working within a highly experienced commercial team, you will take responsibility for key sub-packages on this technically complex energy scheme. Your day-to-day will involve:
• Managing subcontractor accounts from procurement and interim payments through to final account settlement.
• Assisting with the preparation of upstream valuations and applications for payment with robust contractual substantiation.
• Administering the contract (NEC4 Option C), including drafting early warnings, compensation events, and maintaining commercial registers.
• Measuring works accurately in accordance with standard methods.
• Identifying commercial risks and opportunities, and flagging these proactively to the Senior QS.
• Ensuring accurate cost allocation and coding to support internal cost reporting and margin analysis.
• Collaborating daily with site engineers, project managers, and client reps to ensure the commercial strategy aligns with operational delivery.

What We're Looking For
I am looking for an intermediate QS who is commercially astute, confident in challenging costs, and ready to step up on a major infrastructure stage.

• Proven experience as a Quantity Surveyor within civil engineering, energy, utilities, or heavy infrastructure.
• Solid working knowledge of the NEC suite. NEC4 Option C experience is a distinct advantage, though Options A or E will be considered.
• HND or Degree in Quantity Surveying, Commercial Management, or a related discipline.
• Membership of RICS/ICES is highly desirable, or an active commitment to working towards chartership.
• Commercially driven, thick-skinned enough to manage sub-contractors effectively, and an excellent communicator.

What My Client Can Offer You
Beyond the chance to work on a nationally significant grid upgrade, my client offers a highly competitive and comprehensive package:

• Starting base salary of £42,000 - £52,000 (negotiable depending on experience).
• £6,000 car allowance.
• 27 days annual leave plus bank holidays (with the option to buy more).
• Discretionary annual bonus and structured annual salary reviews.
• Competitive contributory pension scheme.
• Private healthcare, life assurance, and health screening.
• Enhanced maternity, paternity, and sick pay.
• A clear, structured, and supported development plan to get you to Senior QS.
