Hybrid working
An exciting opportunity has arisen for a Quantity Surveyor to join a leading main contractor delivering this high profile, heavy civil engineering project in West London. The Quantity Surveyor will be tasked with overseeing a number of packages across the project which include twin-bored TBM tunnels, sprayed concrete lining, shaft sinking, bridge reconstruction, earthworks, and major services diversions. It's large-scale, long-term, and genuinely interesting work. They're growing their commercial team to deliver a planned ramp up in work and can offer exciting career prospects for the right people.
The Role
The successful Quantity Surveyor will be responsible for pre and post-contract commercial duties. You'll work as part of an integrated project team, either independently or under the direction of a Senior Quantity Surveyor, with real responsibility from day one. The focus is on delivering accurate, value-generating commercial input across the full lifecycle of your allocated works.
What You'll Be Doing
- Contract management and administration, ensuring all notices and correspondence are accurate, timely, and compliant
- Preparation and assessment of applications for payment, valuations, and cost/value reconciliation
- Cost control and forecasting, including monthly reporting on value, cost, profit/loss, cash flow, and budget
- Identifying, analysing, and responding to commercial risks – feeding into risk and value management at project level
- Preparing supply chain enquiries, negotiating, administering, and closing out subcontracts
- Providing contractual advice to the project and site team as required
- Ongoing liaison with site teams, subcontractors, and the client's commercial representatives
- Maintaining commercial records, meeting packs, and minutes in line with contract and company requirements
What We're Looking For
- NEC contract experience
- Relevant degree in Quantity Surveying (or equivalent) and at least four or more years of UK civil engineering experience
- Advanced Microsoft Excel skills
- Proactive, solutions-focused approach
- Excellent communication skills
- Right to work in the UK
Why This Role?
Beyond the scale of the project itself, my client is genuinely invested in the development of their people – whether that's APC support, further study, or progression into more senior commercial roles as the programme grows. You'll join a team that values collaboration, takes its culture seriously, and offers the kind of project exposure that's hard to find elsewhere. You'll also be offered a competitive salary and package that includes:
- Starting salary of £45,000 to £58,000
- Travel allowance of £5,000
- Paid travel to site
- 25 days leave + bank holidays
- Private healthcare
- Contributory pension
