Senior Quantity Surveyor

Senior Quantity Surveyor - Major Energy Infrastructure (£300m+ Transmission Project)
Location: Enfield, Hoddesdon or Bishops Stortford (site-based 4 days per week)
Salary: £53,000 - £70,000 + £7,000 car allowance + package
Sector: Energy & Transmission | Contractor-Side | NEC4 Option C

A leading infrastructure contractor is looking for a Senior Quantity Surveyor to join its Energy division on a major transmission project valued in excess of £300m in the South East of England.

This is a genuine end-to-end commercial management opportunity. You'll take ownership of a defined package of works on a high-profile, technically complex energy scheme - and because the project is in its early stages, you'll have the chance to shape the commercial framework from the outset rather than inheriting someone else's setup. For an ambitious Senior Quantity Surveyor, or an experienced QS ready for that step up, this is a rare chance to put your stamp on a nationally significant infrastructure programme.

What You'll Be Doing

• Full commercial management of a package of works from inception through to final account
• Preparation of valuations and applications for payment with full contractual substantiation
• Producing and managing cost reports to the client in line with contract requirements
• Administration of subcontractor and supplier accounts, including interim payments and final accounts
• Management of subcontract and materials procurement schedules
• Contract administration, change control and maintenance of all associated commercial registers
• Identification and management of commercial risks, opportunities, value engineering and change
• Accurate cost allocation and coding to meet internal and external reporting requirements
• Measurement of works in accordance with standard methods of measurement
• Ensuring site teams operate in line with internal commercial procedures and governance

What We're Looking For

• HND or Degree in Quantity Surveying, Commercial Management or a related discipline
• Proven experience as a Senior Quantity Surveyor on large-scale infrastructure or civil engineering projects, or a strong intermediate QS ready to step up into a senior position
• Strong working knowledge of NEC contracts - NEC4 Option C experience is preferred, but other NEC experience (Options A, C or E) is welcomed
• Background in civil engineering, energy, utilities or major construction projects
• Membership of RICS or ICES, or actively working towards chartership
• Commercially driven, with the confidence to manage subcontractors, challenge costs and protect margins
• Strong communication skills and the ability to work collaboratively with site teams, project managers and client representatives

What's On Offer

• Starting salary of £53,000 - £70,000 depending on experience
• £7,000 car allowance
• 27 days annual leave plus bank holidays (with the option to buy additional days)
• Discretionary annual bonus and annual salary review
• Competitive contributory pension scheme
• Private healthcare, life assurance and health screening
• Enhanced maternity, paternity and sick pay
• Structured investment in professional development and career progression
• Additional lifestyle benefits including retail discounts, gym memberships and cycle-to-work schemes

Why This Role?
The contractor behind this project is a well-established name in UK energy and infrastructure delivery. A £300m+ transmission scheme offers exactly the kind of scale, complexity and profile that accelerates careers - and with the project at an early stage, you won't just be managing numbers, you'll be building the commercial controls that the rest of the team works to.
