Senior Quantity Surveyor (SQS) – Take Commercial Control
We’re looking for a Senior Quantity Surveyor to step into a key commercial leadership role within a thriving regional civils business, driving performance across a large civils framework.
This company operates on a self‑delivery model, giving you more control, influence and real ownership of outcomes from day one.
Hit the ground running. Your first challenge is a large highways project starting soon. It is complex, high‑impact and you will be front and centre, shaping delivery from the outset.
This is a predominantly site‑based role, so if you thrive in the action and want visibility on what you deliver, this is for you.
Responsibilities
- Lead commercial delivery of highways schemes to maximise profitability and performance
- Own budgets, forecasting, CVRs and cash flow with confidence and accuracy
- Take charge of NEC contract management – early warnings, compensation events and change control
- Procure and manage subcontractors within a true self‑delivery environment
- Drive value engineering and efficiency across projects and the wider framework
- Be the go‑to commercial lead for the client, building strong, trusted relationships
- Mentor and support junior team members
- Work side‑by‑side with delivery teams to align commercial strategy with site performance
What you’ll get
- Company car or allowance
- Private healthcare
- Pension and life assurance
- 25 days holiday plus your birthday off
- Enhanced family leave
- Flexible / hybrid working where possible
- Clear development and progression opportunities
About you
- Proven Senior QS (or strong QS ready to step up) in civil engineering or highways
- Track record of delivering end‑to‑end commercial management
- Strong NEC contract expertise (essential)
- Skilled in forecasting, cost control and change management
- Confident managing clients and stakeholders
- Commercially sharp with strong negotiation skills
- Experience in a self‑delivery or principal contractor environment is desirable
Ready for more than just a project? This is your chance to own a framework, lead commercially and make a visible impact.
