Our client is one of the South East's most respected privately-owned civil engineering contractors, delivering infrastructure, highways, earthworks, drainage, groundworks and major civil engineering projects across London and the South East.

With annual revenues exceeding £250 million, they continue to secure high-value projects across the infrastructure, industrial, commercial and residential sectors and have built an outstanding reputation for quality, repeat business and investing in their people. The company offers genuine long-term career progression, with many of its senior commercial staff having progressed through the business.

Due to continued growth, they are looking to appoint an experienced Senior Quantity Surveyor to commercially lead a significant package of works on a £30 million infrastructure project in Didcot.

The successful candidate will work approximately one to two days per week from the Kent head office and three to four days per week on site in Didcot, working closely with the Commercial Manager and operational teams to ensure the successful commercial delivery of this flagship project.

Applicants should already have experience working as either a Senior Quantity Surveyor or an experienced Project Quantity Surveyor within a civil engineering, infrastructure or groundworks environment. You should possess a strong understanding of both JCT and NEC contracts together with proven experience managing drainage, ducting or infrastructure packages valued in excess of £10 million. Excellent commercial awareness, negotiation skills and the ability to build strong working relationships with clients, subcontractors and operational teams are essential.

This opportunity would particularly suit candidates based across South London, West London, Middlesex, Surrey or Berkshire, who are looking to work for a financially secure business with an excellent reputation and an exciting pipeline of future work.

On offer is an all-inclusive package of up to £90,000, dependent upon experience, together with the opportunity to work on one of the region's most significant infrastructure schemes, genuine long-term career progression, ongoing professional development and the stability that comes from joining one of the South East's most established privately-owned civil engineering contractors.

This is an excellent opportunity for an ambitious Senior Quantity Surveyor looking to take ownership of a major project while continuing to develop their career within a business renowned for investing in its people and promoting from within.
