Quantity Surveyor

If you're a Quantity Surveyor who wants to work on serious projects with serious responsibility, this is worth a look.

We're recruiting Quantity Surveyors at multiple levels to work on a portfolio of high-value MOD projects across Scotland.

This isn't your typical commercial role. You'll be working on complex, security-sensitive construction projects where commercial discipline, attention to detail and sound judgement actually matter.

We're looking for QS professionals who want more than just another project on their CV.

You'll take ownership of the commercial management of your projects, working closely with operational, commercial and project teams to make sure work is delivered safely, efficiently and profitably.

Depending on your level, you'll be involved in:

• Managing the commercial and contractual performance of projects
• Cost planning, forecasting and reporting
• Subcontract procurement and management
• Valuations, applications for payment and final accounts
• Managing variations, compensation events and change
• Identifying and mitigating commercial risk
• Cost control and maintaining accurate forecasts
• Supporting procurement and tendering activities
• Working closely with project managers, site teams and senior commercial colleagues
• Building strong relationships with subcontractors, suppliers and stakeholders
• Ensuring projects remain commercially controlled from start through to completion

We're not looking for someone who needs their hand held.

We're looking for Quantity Surveyors who are commercially sharp, organised and prepared to take ownership.

You'll ideally have:

• Experience working as a Quantity Surveyor within construction, infrastructure, engineering or a related environment
• Strong commercial and contractual understanding
• Experience managing subcontractors and supply chains
• Good knowledge of cost control, forecasting and change management
• Excellent attention to detail
• Strong communication and negotiation skills
• The ability to work under pressure and manage competing priorities
• A proactive approach to identifying commercial opportunities and risks
• Relevant qualifications such as RICS, degree/HNC/HND or equivalent experience

MOD, defence, infrastructure or other highly regulated project experience would be advantageous, but isn't essential.

Because your next project should add something to your career.

You'll gain exposure to major MOD projects across Scotland, work alongside experienced commercial professionals and develop your expertise in an environment where commercial performance, compliance and delivery are taken seriously.

Whether you're an Assistant QS looking for the next step, an experienced QS ready for more responsibility, or a Senior QS looking for a bigger challenge, there's an opportunity to match your experience.

You want:

More responsibility.
More complex projects.
More opportunity to develop.
And a project portfolio that actually strengthens your CV.
