Work with a Specialist Consultancy Delivering for Tier 1 Contractors
We’re working with a small but fast-growing and highly respected consultancy that partners closely with Tier 1 contractors on major UK infrastructure projects. They’re now looking to bring on board an experienced Quantity Surveyor who understands the demands of working in contractor-side environments and can add immediate value to commercial and change processes.
You’ll be part of a tight-knit consultancy team, but work day-to-day within contractor delivery teams—so you’ll need to be confident, proactive, and commercially sharp.
What Youll Be Doing
You’ll support high-value programmes by leading key commercial activities and managing NEC change processes in fast-paced project environments.
Your responsibilities will include:
* Assessing and managing NEC3/NEC4 compensation events, early warnings, and risk provisions
* Working with planning teams (Primavera P6) to evaluate programme impacts and delays
* Supporting subcontractor engagements and validating change/entitlement
* Managing cost forecasts, change registers, and cash flow reporting
* Contributing to commercial strategy, dispute avoidance, and resolution support
What Were Looking For
The ideal candidate will be experienced in contractor-side commercial delivery, even if currently in a consultancy role.
Essential skills and experience:
* Good working knowledge of NEC contracts
* Previous work on major infrastructure, rail, or civil engineering projects
* Background working directly for contractors, or consultancies supporting contractors
* Understanding of planning tools and outputs (e.g., Primavera P6 schedules)
* Strong communication skills and the ability to work confidently in live delivery environments
What’s On Offer
* £50,000 – £70,000 basic salary (depending on experience)
* Travel to and from the office fully paid + expenses for client travel
* Private medical insurance
* Professional development budget + 1:1 mentoring
* Hybrid working: 2–3 days onsite in Central London; remainder remote
* Permanent or freelance options available depending on your preference
* Opportunity to work on high-impact UK infrastructure projects
Why This Role?
This is a great opportunity to:
* Join a small, hands-on consultancy where you’re more than just a number
* Be embedded within Tier 1 contractor teams working on high-value infrastructure programmes
* Gain exposure to complex change environments and sharpen your NEC expertise
* Work in a flexible, hybrid setup with travel costs fully covered
