NG Bailey are expanding our commercial team on a strategic, nuclear project in Burghfield near Reading. We are looking for experienced Quantity Surveyors or Senior Quantity Surveyors to join us as we develop and progress in this area. The successful applicant will implement best commercial practices to maintain and maximise the profitability and financial performance of medium to large projects for NG Bailey’s Strategic Projects Engineering Division.

Due to the nature of the project, the successful applicant will be required to obtain security clearance in order to work on this site; therefore, we can only consider British nationals who have not worked outside the UK in the last 5 years.

Core responsibilities include:

• Ensure that our safety first and foremost message is visible and alive through all activities on the project.
• Where relevant, manage and coach any Quantity Surveyors or Assistant Quantity Surveyors.
• Review and interpret contract terms and conditions, identifying and mitigating risks and enhancing opportunities.
• Ensure compliance with all aspects of the contract, liaise with the project teams on project status.
• Identify, qualify and manage the agreement process of any changes to NG Bailey’s contractual obligations.
• Take responsibility for cash flow forecasting, submission and receipt of payments.
• Monitor and forecast costs and revenue through the project lifecycle.
• Assist with procurement and management of subcontractors.
• Provide accurate reporting of costs, projections, contingency, liabilities, sales and margins.
• Develop and maintain positive long-term relationships with all stakeholders, ensuring customer satisfaction.
• Working alongside the project team and Commercial Manager, negotiate the settlement of the final account and facilitate sign off.
• Ensure all necessary records and reports are generated and maintained.
• Assist in any dispute resolution process.

What we’re looking for:

• Previous relevant experience of responsibility for the commercial aspects of medium to large MEP projects and relevant BSC/degree or equivalent.
• A meticulous focus on quality and safety (in particular nuclear safety culture).
• Capability to obtain SC security clearance through the national vetting authority (if not already held).
