The successful candidate will bring confidence managing subcontractor packages, identifying risk, and driving cost-efficiency within a regulated environment. The Role * Oversee all commercial aspects of a complex water infrastructure project from pre-construction through delivery and final account. * Produce, monitor, and update CVRs, forecasts, and monthly cost reports. * Manage the procurement and administration of subcontract packages, including performance monitoring and payment certification. * Handle the preparation and agreement of applications for payment, variations, and final accounts. * Lead client-facing commercial meetings and support internal reporting requirements. * Ensure full compliance with contract terms (primarily NEC and IChemE) and internal commercial procedures. * Identify risk, implement mitigation strategies, and work proactively to capture commercial opportunities. * Collaborate closely with planning, engineering, and delivery teams to ensure aligned delivery. Requirements * Substantial experience in a Quantity Surveyor or Senior QS role within civil engineering, utilities, or water sector projects. * Familiar with live operational sites and the challenges of working in heavily regulated environments. * Strong working knowledge of NEC contracts. * Proven background in managing commercial processes, subcontractors, and change control on complex projects. * Comfortable preparing and presenting cost/value reports, cashflows, and forecasts. Desirable * Experience managing subcontract packages involving design teams or design deliverables. * Background working on clean or wastewater treatment facilities. * Formal qualification in Quantity Surveying (degree or HND). * Chartered or working towards chartership (RICS, ICES, etc.). * Understanding of regulatory or environmental frameworks within the water industry. What’s on Offer * Competitive salary, reflective of experience and project responsibility. * Car allowance or company vehicle. * Private healthcare and enhanced pension. * 25 days annual leave plus bank holidays. * Support with continued professional development and chartership. * Long-term project security with a contractor that self-delivers complex infrastructure. This is a fantastic opportunity to take a lead commercial role on a high-value, high-impact infrastructure project in the water sector.
