Walker & Sloan are working with an outstanding, highly respected construction contractor to recruit an experienced Senior Quantity Surveyor to join their growing commercial team in Slough.

Our client has established an exceptional reputation for delivering high-quality, technically complex construction projects, with a particularly strong presence across the rapidly expanding Data Centre and Mission Critical sectors.

With an impressive pipeline of major developments and ambitious plans for continued growth, this is an outstanding opportunity for an experienced commercial professional to take ownership of significant construction packages on high-profile data centre projects.

This is an opportunity to join a forward-thinking contractor where commercial excellence, collaboration and long-term career development are central to the business.

The Role

As Senior Quantity Surveyor, you'll take a leading role in the commercial management of major data centre construction projects, working closely with Project Managers, Commercial Managers and the wider delivery team.

You'll be responsible for overseeing the financial and contractual performance of allocated projects or major work packages, ensuring commercial objectives are achieved while maintaining strong relationships with clients, consultants and specialist subcontractors.

From procurement and subcontractor management through to cost reporting, valuations, variations and final accounts, you'll play a pivotal role in ensuring projects are delivered successfully and profitably.

You'll also work closely with the operational and design teams to identify commercial risks, maximise opportunities and ensure effective cost control throughout the project lifecycle.

Importantly, this is a role offering genuine autonomy, responsibility and the opportunity to influence commercial performance on some of the UK's most technically demanding construction developments.

About You

You'll be an established Senior Quantity Surveyor or experienced Quantity Surveyor with a proven track record working for a recognised main contractor.

You'll possess strong commercial and contractual knowledge, excellent negotiation skills and the confidence to manage significant construction packages with minimal supervision.

Experience within the Data Centre, Industrial, Logistics, MEP or Major Commercial Construction sectors would be particularly advantageous.

You'll ideally bring:

• Strong experience in commercial management within a main contracting environment

• Excellent knowledge of procurement, subcontractor management and cost reporting

• Experience managing variations, valuations and final accounts

• Strong understanding of JCT and/or NEC contracts

• Excellent commercial awareness and the ability to identify and mitigate risk

• Strong communication and stakeholder management skills

A degree, HNC or equivalent qualification in Quantity Surveying or a related construction discipline would be advantageous.

Previous data centre experience is desirable but not essential. We're equally interested in commercially strong individuals from other major construction sectors who are keen to develop their careers within mission-critical projects.

What's on Offer?

• Competitive salary, dependent on experience

• Comprehensive benefits package

• Car allowance

• Competitive pension scheme

• Generous annual leave entitlement

• Opportunity to work on major data centre developments

• Exposure to complex construction, MEP and infrastructure packages

• Excellent long-term career progression

• Join a highly respected contractor with a strong pipeline of secured work
