Quantity Surveyor – East of England - £51,000 - £65,000

About the Role

 

Are you a detail-oriented expert in numbers, ready to take your career to the next level? If you’re looking for a role that offers variety, ownership, and the chance to make a real impact, this is the opportunity for you.

 

As a Quantity Surveyor, you’ll provide contractual expertise for construction projects across the UK’s National Transmission System. From control system upgrades and asset decommissioning to new builds and the transition to hydrogen, your work will be pivotal to ensuring the flow of gas and the future of clean energy.

 

While the role involves national travel, the majority of projects you'll support are based in the East of England. For that reason, we’re particularly keen to hear from candidates located in or near the region, as this will help support a more sustainable work-life balance and reduce travel demands.

 

Key Responsibilities

 

  • Lead a portfolio of contracts and guide a team of junior Quantity Surveyors to excellence.
  • Manage complex contracts while simplifying challenges to drive progress.
  • Work nationally, combining home-based work with travel to sites or offices as needed.
  • Collaborate closely with the Commercial Manager, providing expertise and delivering measurable outcomes.

 

What We’re Looking For

 

  • Proven experience with NEC Contracts (A, C & E).
  • Expertise in risk management, cash flow forecasting, and supply chain management.
  • Strong commercial acumen and reporting system knowledge.
  • Contract management, payment applications, early warning notices and compensation events.
  • Oversee procurement activities, including tender evaluations and negotiations.
  • Experience across both pre- and post-contract stages.
  • Knowledge of the gas transmission system.
  • A full UK driving license.
  • Flexibility to support projects across other regions when required.
  • Take charge of your career with this exciting opportunity to lead, grow, and make a difference in the energy industry.

 

Location: Flexible home start with national travel, with a preference for candidates based in the East of England.
