Permanent
Glasgow, Scotland
Quantity Surveyor
The Role
As a Quantity Surveyor, you will be embedded across a varied portfolio of contractor-led infrastructure works, providing both traditional commercial management and broader strategic support across live and pre-construction projects.
You will have involvement in:
1. Cost planning and budget control
2. Applications, valuations, variations and final accounts
3. Commercial reporting and forecasting
4. Subcontract procurement and account management
5. Contract administration under NEC / JCT forms
6. Risk management and value recovery
7. Change management and commercial problem solving
8. Supporting claims, delays and dispute-related matters
This role offers far more variety than a standard project-based QS position, with the chance to work alongside highly experienced commercial professionals on technically challenging assignments nationwide.
Why This Opportunity Stands Out
This isn’t a business where you’ll be treated like a number.
You’ll be joining a collaborative and people-focused environment that genuinely invests in development, supports further education and professional recognition, and gives each Quantity Surveyor the autonomy to make commercial decisions that matter.
Expect:
✔ Hybrid flexibility with home, office and client-based working
✔ Exposure to major UK infrastructure projects
✔ Strong mentoring from senior commercial specialists
✔ Fully supported CPD and further qualifications
✔ Long-term progression into senior commercial roles
✔ A dynamic culture built around ambition, personality and teamwork
About You
We’re looking for a driven Quantity Surveyor with the confidence to manage core commercial responsibilities while also embracing the broader strategic and problem-solving side of consultancy services.
You will ideally have:
9. Degree qualified in Quantity Surveying or similar
10. Previous experience within infrastructure, civils, utilities, rail or contractor-led construction
11. Strong NEC or JCT contractual knowledge
12. Experience with subcontractor accounts, valuations and cost reporting
13. Excellent communication and relationship-building skills
14. A motivated, solutions-led and ambitious approach
Candidates looking to move from contractor environments into a more diverse consultancy setting are strongly encouraged to apply.
