Senior Quantity Surveyor

The Opportunity

We are recruiting for an experienced Senior Quantity Surveyor to join a leading specialist construction and infrastructure contractor delivering complex industrial, commercial, and technically demanding projects across the UK.

The business has a strong reputation for delivering large-scale construction, fit out, infrastructure, and specialist engineering schemes within highly regulated environments. Their work spans major industrial facilities, energy projects, critical infrastructure, and technically challenging commercial developments.

This role offers the opportunity to work on a major infrastructure scheme within one of the UK’s most significant engineering and construction programmes.

The Role

We are seeking a commercially strong Senior Quantity Surveyor with a solid construction background to procure and manage the internal fit-out supply chain across four technically complex buildings under an NEC3 TSC Option C contract.

The fit-out package, valued at approximately £25m, excludes M&E works and includes highly specialist construction elements associated with critical infrastructure and operational resilience facilities.

The successful candidate will work alongside an established commercial team including another Senior QS and an Assistant QS, supporting procurement, subcontract management, contract administration, and commercial delivery throughout the lifecycle of the project.

This is not a standard fit-out scheme and requires an individual with strong practical construction understanding alongside commercial capability. The ideal candidate will understand how buildings are physically constructed and be confident managing technically challenging packages within a live construction environment.

Proven experience as a Senior Quantity Surveyor within construction or major projects
Strong practical construction knowledge and understanding of building methodologies
Experience managing fit-out, commercial, industrial, or infrastructure packages
Excellent subcontract procurement and supply chain management capability
Strong communication and stakeholder management skills
NEC contract experience preferred but not essential
Experience within regulated, industrial, or technically complex environments beneficial

Combination of office, site, and limited flexible working arrangements
Long-term programme with future project opportunities beyond current scope
