Quantity Surveyor

Quantity Surveyor

Salary: £60,000 - £70,000 + Company Car + annual bonus up to 6%

Location: Warwick or Bristol

Shape projects. Challenge the norm. Drive real value.

Are you a commercially astute Quantity Surveyor who thrives on challenging assumptions, driving value, and making a tangible impact on complex infrastructure projects? This is your opportunity to join a forward-thinking environment where your expertise won’t just be valued,  it will influence how projects are delivered.

 
You’ll play a key role in delivering critical building and infrastructure works, from ventilation systems and pipework to demolition and new-build structures, helping ensure projects are delivered efficiently, compliantly, and commercially optimised.

About the role

As a Quantity Surveyor, you’ll take ownership of the commercial and contractual performance across a portfolio of projects. Working closely with project managers, procurement, and supply chain partners, you’ll be instrumental in ensuring financial accuracy, contract compliance, and value-driven decision-making throughout the project lifecycle.

 
This is not just about managing costs, it’s about challenging them, understanding them, and improving them.

 
You’ll be involved from pre-award stages (PQQ/ITT) through to delivery, ensuring the right commercial strategies are in place to deliver successful outcomes.

 
Key Responsibilities

• Provide commercial leadership and support across multiple projects
• Manage contractual relationships with suppliers, ensuring full compliance with NEC frameworks
• Lead on cost forecasting, financial reporting, and spend control
• Scrutinise supplier quotations, ensuring alignment with Schedule of Cost Components (NEC)
• Challenge costs, assumptions, and methodologies to drive value and efficiency
• Support pre-award activities, including tender evaluation and contract strategy
• Collaborate with procurement and project teams during PQQ and ITT stages
• Maintain accurate and robust commercial records and reporting
• Support risk management and contribute to project risk registers
• Provide guidance to junior QSs where required

About you

You’re not someone who simply accepts numbers, you interrogate them. You bring a proactive, curious mindset and take pride in understanding the detail behind every cost. You’re confident challenging suppliers and stakeholders, and you’re driven by delivering better outcomes, not just completing tasks.

 
You thrive in a collaborative environment but aren’t afraid to push back when needed. You’re motivated, engaged, and always looking for ways to improve processes and add value.

 
Key Requirements & Experience

• Proven experience as a Quantity Surveyor within construction or infrastructure projects
• Strong knowledge of contract management and project delivery
• Experience working with NEC contracts (NEC3 / NEC4)
• Demonstrable experience in cost forecasting and financial control
• Exposure to pre-award processes (PQQ, ITT, tender evaluation)
• Ability to analyse and challenge supplier cost submissions in detail
• Strong stakeholder management and communication skills
   

Essentials

• Experience managing or supporting commercial delivery across multiple contracts
• Understanding of Schedule of Cost Components within NEC frameworks
• Experience using commercial systems such as FastDraft (or similar platforms such as CIMA)
• Strong analytical and problem-solving capabilities
• Ability to work independently and take ownership of deliverables
   

Desirable

• Experience within utilities or large-scale infrastructure projects
• Knowledge of building services (ventilation, pipework, structural works)
• Professional membership (e.g. RICS / CICES
• Degree in Quantity Surveying or related discipline
• Experience mentoring or supporting junior team members

Why Apply?

This is an opportunity to step into a role where your voice matters. You won’t just be processing costs, you’ll be influencing decisions, challenging the status quo, and shaping how projects are delivered.

If you’re looking for a role where you can bring energy, curiosity, and commercial expertise to a team that values improvement and accountability, we’d love to hear from you.
