The Project
My client is a high-profile joint venture delivering one of the most technically demanding civil engineering contracts in the UK and they are looking for a Senior Quantity Surveyor to join their team. The project involves construction of twin-bored TBM tunnels, Sprayed Concrete Lining, shaft sinking, bridge reconstruction, bulk earthworks, and major services diversions on a long term, multi billion £ programme.

What You'll Be Doing
Leading the production of accurate, timely, and contract-compliant commercial documentation
Producing monthly cost reports, forecasts, and contract budget reports with effective cost control throughout
Identifying commercial and contractual risks and opportunities, maintaining risk registers and contingency tracking
