Employment Type: Permanent
Salary: Competitive salary + package
Sector: Civil Engineering / Main Contractor

Fulcrum Recruitment is working with a well-established civil engineering main contractor that is looking to appoint a Quantity Surveyor or Senior Quantity Surveyor to support the commercial delivery of civil engineering schemes across Yorkshire.

This is a permanent opportunity with a respected principal contractor delivering a varied range of design-and-build infrastructure and public realm projects. The role will be based from the company’s office in Hatfield, Doncaster, with projects delivered across Yorkshire and the surrounding region.

The company delivers schemes typically ranging from £1m to £15m, with average project values generally sitting between £5m and £8m, and the capability to deliver larger schemes where required.

The Role

As Quantity Surveyor / Senior Quantity Surveyor, you will take ownership of day-to-day commercial delivery across civil engineering projects, supporting project success through strong cost control, contract administration, reporting and collaborative working with the wider project team.

You will work closely with operational teams, subcontractors, clients and senior commercial staff to ensure projects are commercially managed effectively from procurement through to final account.

This role would suit a Quantity Surveyor looking to develop further, or a Senior Quantity Surveyor seeking a stable regional contractor with a strong pipeline, varied work and genuine long-term progression.

Project Types

The contractor delivers a broad range of general civil engineering and infrastructure schemes, including new highway works, road adaptations, cycle paths, tow paths, footpaths, bridges, retaining walls, drainage, flood alleviation, public realm and streetscape improvements.

Projects are delivered across Yorkshire, with current and secured work including areas such as Doncaster, Sheffield, Rotherham, Barnsley, Hull, Scunthorpe, Huddersfield, Brighouse, Elland, Bradford, Halifax, Kirklees, Harrogate, York, Beverley and the wider East Riding region.

Key Responsibilities

• Prepare and submit interim payment applications, valuations and project final accounts.
• Manage cost control, cost reporting, change control, contract administration and commercial records.
• Work with NEC3 / NEC4 contracts, including early warnings, compensation events, quotations and submissions.
• Procure subcontractors in line with project requirements and administer subcontract accounts, payments, notices and final accounts.
• Measure quantities from site and drawings, maintain accurate records and support robust commercial reporting.
• Produce internal valuations, subcontract liabilities, CVRs and commercial reports in line with agreed reporting timetables.
• Work closely with site teams to monitor progress, identify risks and opportunities, and support effective project delivery.
• Maintain strong relationships with clients, subcontractors, suppliers and internal teams while keeping stakeholders properly informed.

Candidate Requirements

• Previous experience as a Quantity Surveyor or Senior Quantity Surveyor within civil engineering, infrastructure, groundworks or a contractor environment.
• Experience on projects such as highways, drainage, roads, structures, public realm, flood alleviation or similar civils works.
• HND, degree or equivalent qualification in Quantity Surveying, Civil Engineering or a related discipline would be beneficial.
• Working knowledge of NEC3 / NEC4 contracts, or strong transferable contract administration experience.
• Strong understanding of valuations, cost reporting, change control, subcontract administration, CVRs and final accounts.
• Good communication, organisation, time management and commercial awareness.
• Full UK driving licence and a proactive, professional approach to working with site teams, clients and the supply chain.

The Opportunity

This is a strong long-term opportunity with a stable and well-regarded civil engineering contractor offering regional work, varied projects and genuine progression opportunities.

The company can consider candidates at either Quantity Surveyor or Senior Quantity Surveyor level, depending on experience. For someone operating at Quantity Surveyor level and ready to step up, there is scope to develop into a more senior commercial role.

The business has a strong pipeline of secured and upcoming work, with long-term commitment to the Yorkshire region and no regular requirement to lodge away.

Package

The package includes a competitive salary, car or allowance provision where applicable, pension and standard company benefits. The role also offers hybrid working, flexible working hours, long-term stability, varied civil engineering projects, regional work and clear progression opportunities as the business continues to grow.
