Overview
We are working with the regional office of a Tier 1 contractor — one of the best in the business — who need a Senior Quantity Surveyor to join their team after a number of new contract awards and opportunities to bid. They work on schemes from £20 to £120 million on both JCT and NEC forms of contract, a majority of which are framework awards in the education, MOD, MOJ, health, pharma, student and care marketplaces. They have recently been awarded several blue light schemes which are moving to site late 2026 and also have a number of high profile opportunities to bid for around the M4 corridor.
Responsibilities
Your role is to work initially at the 2nd stage to review and check programmes and cost plans, then work with the supply chain to develop detailed prices for the scope of agreed works and convert them into subcontract orders. On larger schemes you will work with a commercial team to manage, supervise and develop including experienced project‑level people as well as assistant and trainee level staff. With the team you will be responsible for taking projects onto site, conducting pre‑start meetings, and then managing and supervising the package on site. Duties include oversight of payments, valuations, variation accounts, administering contracts correctly, forecasting and CVR preparation and presenting to Regional Commercial Directors.
They have experienced commercial teams to integrate into and the commercial function works seamlessly with both pre‑construction and delivery teams to build interesting schemes.
