We put our Customers and Families First. They are the driving force behind everything we do. We drive forward improvements for them to ensure the service they receive, whether reactive repairs or a major project, is completed safely and on time. In order to achieve this, we have 4 core values: open, caring, agile and collaborative. These are at the heart of everything we do.
Location: High Wycombe, hybrid role
Full time, Permanent
Salary: Competitive + Company car/Car allowance
If you’re ready to take your Quantity Surveying career to the next level in a role that blends purpose, challenge and impact — this is your opportunity. At VIVO, we’re on the lookout for a driven and forward-thinking Quantity Surveyor to join our team, supporting critical defence infrastructure projects that directly serve those who serve us.
The Role
This isn’t just about numbers — it’s about making your commercial expertise count in a complex, fast-moving environment where precision, value and collaboration are essential. You’ll play a vital part in scoping and pricing voids, ensuring value for money for our clients, and maintaining rock-solid commercial control across a variety of high-profile facilities and projects. You’ll work closely with our operational and site teams, the Defence Infrastructure Organisation (DIO), and trusted supply chain partners to ensure every job is completed to the highest standard — on time and on budget.
From commercial reporting and cost modelling to risk management and change control, you’ll be involved in the full project lifecycle. Along the way, you’ll build lasting relationships, lead the charge on continuous improvement, and help influence a culture of quality, integrity and innovation. You’ll also have a hand in supporting dispute resolution and mentoring others across the business, helping to shape the future of our commercial capability.
What You'll Bring
To be successful in this role, you’ll need commercial experience in construction, property maintenance or facilities management, with strong knowledge of pricing frameworks, cost control, and financial analysis. You’re likely to have a qualification in Quantity Surveying or equivalent experience — and if you’ve worked in a military or MOD environment before, even better. What matters most is your ability to think critically, communicate clearly, and work collaboratively with stakeholders at every level.
At VIVO, we don’t just value technical know-how — we value people. We’re looking for someone who thrives in a fast-paced, purpose-led environment and is excited by the chance to make a real difference. You’ll need to be confident, proactive, and ready to lead by example — with a sharp eye for detail, a strong ethical compass, and a passion for problem-solving.
You’ll be part of a supportive, innovative, and growing organisation with opportunities for professional development and career progression. If you want to be part of a team that supports national defence infrastructure while building your own future, this is the role for you.
Apply now and bring your expertise to a place where what you do really matters.

* 25 days annual leave
* 6% employee matched pension contribution
