Senior Quantity Surveyor

We're supporting our client in the search for an experienced Senior Quantity Surveyor to join a major Battery Energy Storage System.

This is a challenging but rewarding opportunity for a commercially astute QS to take ownership of a project.

The successful candidate will play a key role in bringing commercial control back to the project, with a particular focus on managing and resolving Compensation Events (CEs) under an NEC contract.

The Role

• Lead the management, assessment and resolution of Compensation Events.
• Build and present robust commercial arguments to both the main contractor and the client.
• Provide clear commercial direction and help drive the project towards a successful outcome.
• Work independently with minimal supervision, taking ownership of key commercial issues.
• Collaborate with project stakeholders while maintaining a firm and professional commercial position.

What We're Looking For

• Proven experience as a Senior Quantity Surveyor on major infrastructure, energy or civil engineering projects.
• Strong working knowledge and practical experience administering NEC contracts, particularly Compensation Events.
• A confident communicator with the ability to negotiate and influence both client and contractor teams.
• Self-sufficient, proactive and capable of stepping into a live project with immediate impact.
• Experience on energy or BESS projects would be advantageous but is not essential.

Location & Working Pattern

• Full-time perm position.
• 3 days per week on site, with the remaining time working flexibly.

If you're an experienced Senior QS who thrives in complex project environments and has the commercial expertise to get challenging projects back on track, we'd love to hear from you.
