Managing Quantity Surveyor

Managing Quantity Surveyor – Major Energy Infrastructure | West London | Up to £90k + Package

Managing Quantity Surveyor - This is a rare opportunity to join one of the UK's most respected and financially robust infrastructure contractors. A business with an extensive track record of delivering complex, high‑profile projects across the energy, transportation and water sectors in the UK and abroad, it offers genuine long‑term career progression and exposure to a varied pipeline of projects.

The Project

You’ll be joining at the very beginning of what will become one of the most significant energy infrastructure projects in the UK. This £400m+ scheme within the power transmission sector is a nationally critical development that will directly enable the country's digital and energy infrastructure growth for decades. Construction will mobilise later this year with a programme running through to 2029, followed by a further two‑year commissioning phase.

The Role

As Managing Quantity Surveyor, you’ll take full commercial ownership of a £200m civils portfolio – a genuinely varied and technically interesting scope that includes construction of an access road, a bridge, bulk earthworks, deep drainage, multiple concrete structures and a large steel‑framed building. You’ll lead a team of 4‑5 surveyors, developing capability across the team while maintaining the commercial rigour that a flagship scheme demands. This is a site‑based role with a hybrid arrangement (3‑4 days on site, 1‑2 days remote).

What You’ll Be Doing

• Taking full commercial responsibility for a £200m civils package portfolio from inception through to final account
• Leading, mentoring and developing a team of 4‑5 surveyors
• Managing subcontract procurement, letting and administration across a complex, multi‑package scope
• Driving CVR reporting, cost forecasting and commercial performance
• Engaging with the client and supply chain at a senior level to manage risk, change and dispute proactively
• Ensuring robust commercial governance throughout the project lifecycle

What We’re Looking For

• An experienced MQS or Senior QS ready for the step up, with a strong civils background – earthworks, drainage, structures and/or groundworks experience within a main contracting environment will be of particular interest
• Proven ability to manage and develop a commercial team in a site‑based environment
• Sound knowledge of standard forms of contract (NEC preferred)
• Someone who thrives in a fast‑paced, high‑accountability environment and takes pride in leading from the front
• MRICS or working towards it is advantageous but not essential

The Package

• Starting salary up to £90,000
• £8,000 car allowance or company car
• 27 days annual leave plus bank holidays
• Private healthcare (including family cover)
• Private pension contributions
• Discretionary bonus
• Hybrid working (3‑4 days on site / 1‑2 days remote) – 45hr working week

This is a genuine flagship appointment on a project of national significance, with a contractor that has the scale, stability and ambition to match. If you want to lead a commercial team on something that matters, get in touch today.
