The position will focus on the delivery of water infrastructure projects, providing an opportunity to take commercial responsibility for technically challenging schemes within an ongoing programme of works.
This is an excellent opportunity for an experienced Quantity Surveyor looking to take ownership of projects, develop relationships with operational teams and play a key role in successful commercial delivery.
