A major infrastructure sector client is expanding its commercial services team and is looking to appoint a Quantity Surveyor to each of its multi-million sub programmes. Each programme carries a £1bn investment allocation which will be delivered over the next five years.

Working directly for an end client offers many benefits, including:

Clear career progression into leadership roles
Stronger focus on cost control and value, less on claims
Exposure to portfolio/programme level works
Closer relationships with senior stakeholders within the business
Broader range of professional skills development
