We do what we say! That’s why we need people like you – to help us deliver on our promises. People who enjoy getting things done, with a focus on cost control and profitability. We have an opportunity for a Quantity Surveyor to join our high-performing commercial team. As a utilities contractor, we work with some fantastic clients, and this is an exciting time to join us as the industry embraces innovation and greener working practices.

We would love to hear from you if… You are an experienced Quantity Surveyor with a strong background in utilities, civil, or mechanical engineering, ideally within the water industry.

We are looking for someone who is enthusiastic, proactive, and a great problem solver, with excellent communication and relationship-building skills. Strong Microsoft Excel expertise is essential, including proficiency with formulas, pivot tables, and VLOOKUPs, alongside a keen eye for data integrity and financial analysis.
