Overview
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 – twin-bored TBM tunnels, SCL tunnels, shaft sinking, bridge reconstruction, earthworks, and major services diversions on a nationally critical rail programme. The combined contract value is around £1.8bn, and the scope is as varied and complex as it gets in UK civils.
The Role
This is a senior commercial position with breadth: 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 will also mentor and support more junior members of the commercial team, and 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.
Benefits & Package
* Starting salary of £58,000 to £70,000
* Travel allowance of £5,000
* Paid travel to site
* 25 days leave + bank holidays
* Private healthcare
* Contributory pension
