Why this role matters
We’re hiring a Quantity Surveyor to take commercial ownership of key infrastructure and construction projects delivered under NEC and JCT contracts. But this role is about more than managing costs — it’s about ensuring projects are commercially sound, contractually compliant, and set up for successful delivery.
You’ll work closely with Engineering, Construction, and Project Management teams, helping to create financial clarity, manage risk, and support confident decision-making throughout the project lifecycle.
This role is ideal for someone who:
- Thrives on taking full commercial responsibility for multiple live projects
• Understands how strong financial control supports successful, stress-free project delivery
• Is comfortable working across NEC and JCT contracts in complex project environments
• Enjoys working side-by-side with delivery teams to keep projects efficient and on track
• Is confident managing procurement and building effective relationships with subcontractors and suppliers
• Takes pride in supporting and developing others as part of a collaborative commercial team
How you’ll contribute
You’ll be responsible for the end-to-end commercial management of multiple projects, working across NEC and JCT contracts and supporting teams from pre-construction through to final account.
You’ll:
- Take full commercial responsibility for construction and infrastructure projects, managing cost plans, budgets, forecasts, and cost-to-complete assessments
- Prepare, manage, and analyse cost plans, valuations, and final accounts, including interim valuations and contract administration
- Procure subcontractors and suppliers, preparing tender packages, analysing returns, and negotiating appointments and contracts
- Manage project budgets, monitor expenditure, and produce accurate monthly CVRs, cashflows, and commercial summaries
- Identify, value, agree, and control variations and change processes, ensuring accurate and timely submissions
- Prepare and present commercial reports to directors and key stakeholders
- Work closely with Engineering, Construction, Project Management, and internal teams to drive cost efficiency and project success
- Build and maintain strong working relationships with clients, consultants, subcontractors, and supply chain partners
- Assist the Pre-Construction team with cost planning, tender support, and commercial input to project proposals
- Identify, assess, and help mitigate commercial and contractual risks
- Mentor and support junior members of the commercial team where required
