Quantity Surveyor – Join a Fast-Growing Contractor Winning Bigger Projects

A business on the up. Bigger projects. Bigger opportunities.
Not just delivering essential infrastructure – shaping the future of it. Following significant investment into the business, they have strengthened their order book and are now securing larger, more complex projects than ever before.

This is an opportunity to join a contractor that continues to develop with the market, even with over 140 years of combined infrastructure expertise! And they’re growing. Fast. They offer a friendly, fun, and respectful environment where you’re encouraged to innovate, challenge, and progress.

What you’ll be doing
You’ll be a key member of their Thames Water AMP7 team, working on major capital delivery projects.
From procurement to final accounts, you’ll take ownership of the commercial and financial performance of your projects. You’ll:
  • Manage and mentor Assistant QSs and junior staff.
  • Lead subcontractor procurement, contracts, and change management.
  • Work closely with operational teams and clients to maximise value and ensure delivery excellence.
  • Produce CVRs, forecasts, and payment applications.
  • Spot opportunities for efficiencies and cost savings.
What you’ll bring
  • BSc in Quantity Surveying (or equivalent experience).
  • Experience in a civil engineering or utilities contractor environment.
  • Commercial acumen, a collaborative mindset, and a drive to progress.
This is your chance to step into a role where your impact will be visible and a career that will grow alongside the business.
