Your new company
A leading infrastructure and construction business delivering major projects within the water and utilities sector. With a strong order book and projects secured for the long term, the organisation offers stability, clear progression routes and the opportunity to work within a collaborative, high-performing environment on complex, multidisciplinary schemes.

Your new role
You will take full commercial responsibility for a defined section of a major infrastructure project, supporting delivery across a complex and evolving scheme from early design through to completion.
This role will involve end-to-end commercial management, including procurement, subcontract administration, cost control and final accounts.

Working closely with delivery teams, you will provide commercial input during design development to ensure cost certainty and effective risk management across the project lifecycle.

This opportunity is available at both Quantity Surveyor and Senior Quantity Surveyor level, with significant exposure to a long-term programme of works extending into later years. The role is site-based five days per week, with an immediate start available and planned mobilisation later in the year. There is also strong potential for a temporary position to transition into a permanent role.

What you’ll need to succeed

• Demonstrable experience in a commercial role within utilities, water or civil engineering
• Previous experience working for a main contractor
• Strong understanding of subcontract management, valuations, variations and cost reporting
• Experience working with multiple contract forms (NEC preferred)
• Ability to manage risk, change and commercial performance across a project lifecycle
• Strong communication skills and ability to work collaboratively with project teams and stakeholders
• A relevant qualification is beneficial but not essential.

What you’ll get in return

• Day rate up to £550 per day (Inside IR35)
• Competitive Salary if offered Temp-to-Perm
• Long-term project pipeline with works secured for multiple years
• Opportunity to gain experience on large-scale, high-value infrastructure projects
• Clear pathway for career progression into senior commercial roles
• Potential to move from a temporary position into a permanent role
