Senior Quantity Surveyor- Rail

Senior Quantity Surveyor Scunthorpe & Mersey £55,000 - £65,000 Permanent

A leading provider of innovative infrastructure and technology solutions within the UK rail sector is looking for an experienced Senior Quantity Surveyor to take commercial ownership of high-value projects currently in the design phase.

This is a critical hire for the business. With several projects experiencing significant change during the design lifecycle, we need a "hands-on" professional who can hit the ground running to manage a backlog of Early Warning Notices (EWNs), price complex variations, and produce robust Cost to Completes. For the right candidate, this role offers a clear trajectory toward Commercial Manager status, backed by tailored professional development and RICS mentorship if required.

• Change Management: Pro-actively pricing and managing a high volume of change requests and Compensation Events arising from the design phase.

• Commercial Control: Managing EWNs and updating CTCs to ensure accurate financial forecasting and risk mitigation.

• Contract Administration: Expert application of NEC 3/4 forms of contract to protect the company s commercial position.

• Rail Operations: Accounting for industry-specific constraints, including weekend possessions and rail-specific labour risks, within commercial models.

• Team Leadership: Providing guidance to junior commercial staff and collaborating closely with design and site operational teams.

The successful candidate must be an experienced Quantity Surveyor from within the Rail sector. Due to the current phase of the projects, there is no "bedding-in" period; you must understand rail-specific risks (such as possessions) and be an expert in NEC 3/4 contracts from day one.

• Experience: Circa 5 10+ years of experience at a Senior level.

• Technical Skills: Proven ability to manage a heavy volume of EWNs and Compensation Events.

• Ambition: A desire to progress into a Commercial Management role.

• Qualifications: HND/Degree in Quantity Surveying or equivalent.

• Professional Growth: RICS mentorship and clear career progression.

• Flexible Perks: Buy and sell annual leave, plus an additional day off for your birthday.

• Post-Probation Choice: Select from private health insurance, an additional 1% pension contribution, or a £45 monthly gym membership.

• Family & Wellbeing: Enhanced Maternity/Paternity pay, Life Assurance, and Critical Illness cover.
