We are working with a well-established civil engineering contractor delivering a long-term programme of infrastructure works across the North West. Due to continued growth and a strong forward order book, they are looking to appoint an experienced Quantity Surveyor to join their commercial team.

This is an excellent opportunity to join a secure, multi-year programme involving a diverse range of civil engineering and utility projects, offering long-term career progression and exposure to high-value frameworks.

• Supporting the management of change control and risk processes.
• Producing accurate cost/value reports and commercial forecasts.
• Working closely with operational teams to ensure commercial objectives are achieved.
• Maintaining contractual records and documentation throughout the project lifecycle.
• Supporting dispute avoidance and resolution where required.

We are keen to speak with Quantity Surveyors who have experience within civil engineering, infrastructure, utilities, highways, rail, energy, or related sectors.
