Strong order book. Repeat clients. Self-delivery capability.

The Role

You’ll take commercial responsibility for one or more live earthworks / remediation schemes, reporting into a Commercial Manager.

This is a hands-on commercial role — close to site, close to operations, and involved from award through to final account.

Key Responsibilities:

  • Managing subcontractor packages and valuations

  • Producing CVRs and cost reports

  • Variations and change control

  • Procurement of materials and specialist subcontractors

  • Client applications and payment notices

  • Supporting tender pricing where required

  • Working closely with Site Managers and Project Managers

You’ll be commercially driving projects, not just reporting numbers.

What They’re Looking For

  • QS experience within heavy civils, earthworks or remediation

  • Comfortable managing packages with limited supervision

  • Understanding of NEC contracts (JCT beneficial depending on scheme)

This would suit:

  • An Assistant QS ready to step up

  • Or a QS already running their own schemes

Why This Role

  • £40,000 – £60,000 depending on experience

  • Clear progression route

  • Strong pipeline of regional projects
