What’s the role? The Boundary Box Quantity Surveyor is responsible for reviewing, validating, and managing aborted smart meter installation jobs that may require excavation, enabling works, boundary box replacements, or Streetworks activities. The role sits between Commercial, Operations, Planning, and Streetworks, ensuring all aborted jobs are correctly evidenced, commercially validated, and managed in line with the NEC4 TSC contract, Scope requirements, and operational processes. The role helps reduce unnecessary costs, prevent unsupported dig claims, improve data quality, and provide audit‑ready commercial assurance. This role supports the operational, reporting, defect management, deployment, and streetworks obligations required under the NEC4 TSC smart metering contract environment.

• Analyse repeat failures, operational inefficiencies, and high‑risk locations.
• Manage incidents and defects through operational systems such as MWorks, Power BI, Freshdesk, or equivalent platforms.
• Track follow‑on actions, permits, excavation requirements, and remediation activities.
• Work closely with Commercial, Operations, Streetworks, Finance, and Programme teams.
