Senior Quantity Surveyor

Senior Quantity Surveyor – Civils / Infrastructure

£500–£600 per day | Inside IR35 | 6-month rolling
 Rickmansworth

If you’re a proper Senior QS who’s comfortable running your own work on live civils jobs – this one’s worth a look.

We’re working with a major civil engineering contractor delivering infrastructure schemes in the £200k–£10m+ range. This is a hands-on role, not a clipboard exercise. You’ll be embedded with the project team, keeping the commercial side tight while work gets delivered on site.

No fluff. No nonsense. Just solid commercial delivery.

What you’ll actually be doing

You’ll own the day-to-day commercial management of the project(s), including:

Cost control, forecasting and cashflow

Monthly CVRs and commercial reporting

Applications for payment and cash recovery

Subcontract procurement, negotiation and account management

Managing change, variations and claims through to agreement

Supporting site teams with commercial decisions and risk management

Keeping contracts compliant and commercially protected

You’ll be trusted to run your own workload, deal with clients and supply chain, and spot opportunities before they turn into problems.

What they’re looking for

This isn’t for someone still finding their feet.

They need someone who:

Has solid Senior QS experience in civil engineering or infrastructure

Is comfortable working for a direct delivery contractor

Knows their way around NEC contracts (A, C and E especially)

Can manage CVRs, forecasts, subcontract accounts and final accounts without hand-holding

Communicates clearly with site teams, clients and commercial leads

Takes pride in doing things properly – commercially and professionally

RICS is useful but not essential. Experience and attitude matter more.
