As a Senior Quantity Surveyor, you will provide expert commercial support and guidance throughout the project life-cycle.

This is an exciting opportunity to further develop your Quantity Surveying career within a growing and supportive project team.

  • Build and maintain strong relationships with internal and external stakeholders, aligning commercial objectives and shared goals.
  • Interpret and apply the head contract terms and conditions, ensuring alignment throughout the supply chain.
  • Proactively monitor and ensure contract compliance, identifying and addressing any areas of risk or non-conformance.

Essential Experience:

  • Proven experience in a Quantity Surveying role, ideally within a regulated or complex project environment.
  • Strong commercial acumen with the ability to manage change, risk, and commercial governance.
  • Practical experience working with standard forms of contract, particularly NEC3.
  • Solid understanding of commercial administration, supply chain engagement, and contract delivery in high-assurance environments.
  • Ability to interpret business requirements and reflect these in sourcing and commercial strategies.
  • A collaborative mindset, with experience working across multi-disciplinary teams.

Qualifications:

  • Degree (or equivalent) in Quantity Surveying or a relevant subject.

Working Arrangements:

  • Hybrid working model: 3 days on-site in Warrington and 2 days remote.
  • Standard 37 hour working week.
  • Flexibility required to support project milestones when necessary.

The salary is £50,000 to £61,500 plus an excellent benefits package and you MUST be eligible for SC Clearance to be considered for this role.
