We’re working with a leading civil engineering contractor delivering long-term works across the Southern Water framework, looking to bring in a high-performing Quantity Surveyor to strengthen their commercial team.
This is not a role for someone who needs hand-holding. They’re looking for a commercially sharp QS who understands how projects actually run and can add value from day one.
The Role:
Full commercial management of water infrastructure projects
Ownership of cost reporting, CVRs, forecasts and cash flow
Managing subcontractor procurement, valuations and accounts
Administration of NEC contracts (early warnings, compensation events, change control)
Working closely with operational/site teams to drive performance
Supporting commercial strategy and project delivery
What They’re Looking For:
Proven experience as a Quantity Surveyor within civils / infrastructure
Strong, working knowledge of NEC forms of contract (this is essential)
Solid operational background – someone who understands site, not just spreadsheets
Confident managing projects independently
Commercially aware, proactive, and not afraid to challenge where needed
Strong communication across delivery and client teams
Why This Role?
Long-term secured work within the Southern Water framework
Strong commercial leadership and structure already in place
Hybrid working built on trust and output (not micromanagement)
Opportunity to step into a role where you’ll genuinely influence project performance
If you’re a Quantity Surveyor who knows their numbers, understands NEC inside out, and can hold their own on site – this is one worth exploring.
