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.
If you're a QS with a construction or utilities background and you want real programme exposure rather than repetitive framework work, this is worth a conversation.

What We're Looking For

* Confident working with subcontractors and internal delivery teams
* Positive, proactive attitude with the drive to make things happen
Location & Working Pattern
Hybrid working – typically 2 to 3 days on site or in the office, with the remainder from home. The exact split is flexible and can be discussed at interview stage. Specific location details will be shared with shortlisted candidates.
