Quantity Surveyor
South West (3 days on-site)
Outside IR35
£350 a day
Utilities / Fibre Networks
1.5 years’ worth of work
We’re working with a leading player in the utilities sector who are rolling out big fibre and infrastructure projects across the South West (Cornwall area)— and we’re on the lookout for an experienced Quantity Surveyor to join the team.
If you’ve come from the utilities sector (and know your way around fibre builds), this one’s for you. You’ll be the go-to person for all things cost and commercial — keeping track of materials, budgets and any design changes that come your way.
You’ll be in the mix with project managers, supervisor, engineers, subcontractors and site teams, making sure everything adds up and runs smoothly from a commercial point of view. You’ll get involved in pricing, cost tracking, reviewing build packs, and spotting any opportunities to save time or money along the way.
It’s a hands-on role — you’ll be on-site around 2/3 days a week, checking progress, measuring works, and working closely with the delivery team. You’ll need solid experience in utilities or fibre, strong Excel and reporting skills, and the confidence to hold your own in conversations with clients and contractors.
Ideally, you’ve got a degree in Quantity Surveying, Engineering or Construction Management and a few years’ experience in a similar role. If you’re RICS certified, that’s a nice bonus — but what really matters is your practical know-how and ability to make things happen.
This is an Outside IR35 contract with a solid day rate and the chance to be part of a major delivery programme with good longevity.
