Project/Senior Quantity Surveyor in Reading

O'Neill and Brennan are currently working with a multi-billion turnover Tier 1 main contractor who are looking to appoint a Project/Senior Quantity Surveyor to join their commercial team on a significant project in Slough. The successful candidate will take commercial responsibility as Commercial No.2 on a £125m section of the project, which includes significant heavy civil and structural works, working under an NEC form of contract.

This is an excellent opportunity for an experienced Project Quantity Surveyor who is ready to take the step up into a Senior position, with the client open to someone who has the capability to take on the additional responsibility. The project is not rail or highways, providing an opportunity for someone from a traditional civils/infrastructure background to broaden their experience into a different area of the sector while still working on a major, technically challenging project. The role will be based in Slough and will suit candidates based across West London, Buckinghamshire, Berkshire and the surrounding areas. A background check will be required for the successful candidate.
