Looking for more stability without sacrificing the benefits of contracting? If you're a Quantity Surveyor who enjoys working on complex rail infrastructure projects but is tired of jumping between short-term contracts, this could be the opportunity you've been waiting for.
You'll join a major rail programme delivering essential infrastructure improvements across a long-term portfolio of works. With a strong pipeline of secured projects and ongoing investment, you'll have the opportunity to make a genuine impact while enjoying the security of a long-duration contract.
The Opportunity
As a Rail Quantity Surveyor or Senior Quantity Surveyor, you'll play a key role in the commercial management of a diverse range of rail infrastructure projects from early-stage delivery through to final account. You'll be trusted to manage commercial risk, maximise project performance and build strong relationships with project teams, suppliers and stakeholders. The programme includes a mixture of multidisciplinary rail works, providing exposure to a variety of project types and commercial challenges. This is an excellent opportunity for someone who enjoys working within a collaborative environment where commercial teams are involved early and given the autonomy to influence project outcomes.
What You'll Be Doing
- Managing the commercial performance of rail infrastructure projects.
- Preparing and reviewing applications for payment.
- Administering subcontractor accounts and payment assessments.
- Managing compensation events, variations and change control processes.
- Producing cost reports, forecasts and commercial dashboards.
- Supporting procurement activities and subcontract negotiations.
- Assisting with contract administration under NEC forms of contract.
- Working closely with project delivery teams to identify commercial opportunities and mitigate risk.
- Supporting agreement of final accounts.
What's In It For You?
- Long-term contract on a major, secured rail framework.
- Opportunity to work across a broad portfolio of high-profile infrastructure projects.
- Hybrid working arrangement offering flexibility around home and office locations.
- A collaborative project environment where commercial teams have genuine influence.
- Exposure to complex projects that will enhance your experience and marketability.
- Consistent workload and programme visibility, allowing you to focus on delivery rather than searching for your next contract.
About You
You'll likely have experience working within rail, infrastructure, utilities or major civil engineering projects and be comfortable managing commercial responsibilities throughout the project lifecycle. Experience with NEC contracts is highly desirable, alongside strong stakeholder management and cost control skills. Whether you're currently operating at Quantity Surveyor level and looking for greater project exposure, or you're an established Senior Quantity Surveyor seeking a long-term contract opportunity, we'd be interested in speaking with you.
