About the role
We are looking for a Quantity Surveyor to join our Commercial team, working on our Yorkshire Water account. This is a permanent role and will include a home working and office‑based split, based from Brighouse.
What will your day look like:
- Working within the Commercial Team to ensure full compliance with Avove systems, processes, and commercial procedures.
- Working to strict internal and contractual deadlines, including those set out in Framework Agreements and NEC contracts.
- Assisting with the creation, monitoring, and financial reporting of subcontract orders, ensuring accurate cost control.
- Supporting the Commercial Lead in managing project costs, including preparation of financial statements and weekly/monthly reports.
- Assisting in the procurement and administration of construction contracts and the ongoing management of subcontractors.
- Collating and maintaining accurate commercial records, including variations, claims, extensions of time, and final accounts.
