Quantity Surveyor, SE London, Water & Wastewater Infrastructure – 40,000 - 52,000 + Car + Benefits
We're working exclusively with one of the UK's most established infrastructure contractors to recruit a Quantity Surveyor into their water and wastewater capital project delivery team in South East London.
This is a genuine opportunity to get involved in one of the largest programmes currently running under AMP8 – the water industry's current investment cycle – working on projects that directly protect water supply and environmental standards for future generations.
