Quantity Surveyor – Water Civils

We’re working with a leading civil engineering contractor delivering long-term works across the Southern Water framework, looking to bring in a high-performing Quantity Surveyor to strengthen their commercial team.

This is not a role for someone who needs hand-holding. They’re looking for a commercially sharp QS who understands how projects actually run and can add value from day one.

The Role:

• Full commercial management of water infrastructure projects
• Ownership of cost reporting, CVRs, forecasts and cash flow
• Managing subcontractor procurement, valuations and accounts
• Administration of NEC contracts (early warnings, compensation events, change control)
• Working closely with operational/site teams to drive performance
• Supporting commercial strategy and project delivery

What They’re Looking For:

• Proven experience as a Quantity Surveyor within civils / infrastructure
• Strong, working knowledge of NEC forms of contract (this is essential)
• Solid operational background – someone who understands site, not just spreadsheets
• Confident managing projects independently
• Commercially aware, proactive, and not afraid to challenge where needed
• Strong communication across delivery and client teams

Why This Role?

• Long-term secured work within the Southern Water framework
• Strong commercial leadership and structure already in place
• Hybrid working built on trust and output (not micromanagement)
• Opportunity to step into a role where you’ll genuinely influence project performance

If you’re a Quantity Surveyor who knows their numbers, understands NEC inside out, and can hold their own on site – this is one worth exploring.
