Willmott Dixon Interiors are looking to appoint a Project Surveyor (Quantity Surveyor) to join our team delivering a long-term programme of work in Aldermaston, Reading. This is a secure, technically complex environment supporting projects that enhance critical scientific and analytical capabilities. The current programme is scheduled through to 2027, with a strong likelihood of continued works for many years beyond, offering long‑term stability and clear development opportunities. Projects range from fast‑paced interior fit‑out works to highly sensitive construction packages. You will operate as a key Project Surveyor on a day‑to‑day basis, overseeing the commercial delivery of allocated projects under NEC forms of contract, with support from a Senior Quantity Surveyor / Senior Commercial Manager. This role includes involvement in preconstruction and future phases, making it ideal for a surveyor who enjoys seeing projects through their full lifecycle and contributing to long‑term client relationships. Due to the nature of the client, you will be required to work predominantly on site (typically 3–4 days per week) and be eligible for SC security clearance.

* Maintain robust CVC cost reporting, forecasting and budget control
* Ensure compliance with all contractual, commercial and client‑specific procedures

* Confident client‑facing communicator, comfortable operating in a highly regulated environment
* Strong understanding of cost reporting, forecasting and change management
