Senior Quantity Surveyor - Major Rail Infrastructure JV | London
Salary: £58,000 to £70,000 + package
Hybrid working
The Project
My client is a high-profile joint venture delivering one of the most technically demanding civil engineering contracts in the UK and they are looking for a Senior Quantity Surveyor to join their team. The project involves construction of twin-bored TBM tunnels, Sprayed Concrete Lining, shaft sinking, bridge reconstruction, bulk earthworks, and major services diversions on a long term, multi billion £ programme.
The Role
This is a senior commercial position with real scope to have an impact on this major project - you'll lead on contract management and cost control, work closely with project and engineering teams, and manage subcontract accounts from placement through to final account. You'll also be expected to mentor and support more junior members of the commercial team, and to engage directly with the client's commercial representatives.
What You'll Be Doing
- Leading the production of accurate, timely, and contract-compliant commercial documentation
- Producing monthly cost reports, forecasts, and contract budget reports with effective cost control throughout
- Identifying commercial and contractual risks and opportunities, maintaining risk registers and contingency tracking
- Supporting and driving the change control process - identifying and providing timely information to underpin claims and compensation events
- Managing subcontracts end-to-end: placement, interim valuations, variations, delay and extension of time registers, and final accounts
- Supporting procurement through tender processes and subcontract documentation
- Liaising directly with the employer's commercial team and client representatives
- Reviewing value management proposals and contributing to commercial strategy
- Working closely with technical and engineering staff to develop practical, commercially sound solutions
- Demonstrating and progressing your own professional development
What We're Looking For
Essential:
- Relevant degree in Quantity Surveying (or equivalent), or four or more years of industry experience
- Advanced Microsoft Excel skills
- Right to work in the UK
- Proactive, problem-solving approach
Desirable:
- NEC3/4 contract experience
- Major project civils or infrastructure background
- Rail sector experience
- Power BI
Why This Role?
The scale and complexity of this programme puts it in a different category from most. You'll have genuine seniority, real commercial ownership, and the backing of a well-resourced JV with a strong track record on major infrastructure delivery. CPD and professional development - including support towards further qualifications or membership - are taken seriously here, not just ticked off on a form.
The Senior Quantity Surveyor will also be offered a generous salary & package that includes:
- Starting salary of £58,000 to £70,000Travel allowance of £5,000
- Paid travel to site
- 25 days leave + bank holidays
- Private healthcare
- Contributory pension
If you're a Senior QS with a civils or infrastructure background ready for your next step, I'd like to hear from you.
