Senior Quantity Surveyor - Major Energy Framework (Yorkshire)

Location:

York / Leeds (site-based some travel)
Salary
: £55,000 to £65,000 + £6,500 + travel allowance + package

I am currently working on behalf of a leading UK main contractor to recruit a Senior Quantity Surveyor for a long-term, high-profile framework with National Grid, delivering critical infrastructure upgrades across the county.

This is a substantial, multi-year programme focused on strengthening and enabling the high-voltage power network. The scope of works is technically diverse and includes extensive earthworks, delivery of multiple small civil structures, and upgrades to key elements of the electricity transmission infrastructure.

• Commercial management of NEC contracts (primarily ECC) from early works through to final account
• Cost control, forecasting, and reporting across complex civil and power-related works
• Management and agreement of compensation events and variations
• Subcontract procurement and commercial administration
• Working collaboratively with site teams, planners, and the client to drive value and manage risk
• Contributing to continuous improvement across the framework

To be considered, candidates should demonstrate:

• Proven experience as a Senior Quantity Surveyor (or a strong Quantity Surveyor ready to step up) within civil engineering or infrastructure
• In-depth, working knowledge of the NEC suite of contracts
• Strong commercial acumen and the confidence to manage client and internal stakeholder relationships
• Experience across earthworks, structures, utilities, or power/infrastructure projects
• A practical, delivery-focused mindset suited to live, operational sites
• Residence within a reasonable commute of York or Leeds, given the site-based nature of the role

My client is offering a highly competitive package alongside excellent career progression, exposure to exciting projects and the support of a friendly and experienced team. The successful Senior Quantity Surveyor can expect a rewarding package that includes:

• £55,000 to £65,000 (flexible for the right individual)
• £6,500 travel allowance
• 27 days annual leave plus bank holidays
• Pension contribution
• Annual bonus
• Long-term workload on a nationally significant framework with clear progression opportunities

This is an excellent opportunity to secure a senior commercial role on a stable, high-value National Grid framework with a contractor known for investing in its people and promoting from within. The programme offers long-term security, challenging projects and genuine career development.
