Quantity Surveyor – The Company
An excellent opportunity to join an established civil engineering contractor delivering works as part of a long-term framework for one of the UK’s leading power companies.
The business has a strong pipeline of secured work across the region and is looking to strengthen its commercial team with an ambitious Quantity Surveyor based from its Avonmouth operation.
This would particularly suit a Quantity Surveyor with around 3–5 years’ post-graduate experience who is looking to develop their career within civil engineering and gain exposure to a major infrastructure framework.
Previous power or utilities experience is not essential. More important is a good grounding in Quantity Surveying, commercial awareness and a genuinely proactive attitude.

Typical responsibilities will include:
* Commercial management of projects from initial stages through to final account

* Subcontractor procurement, management and payments
* Cost reporting, forecasting and monitoring project performance
* Identifying and managing variations and changes
* Supporting project teams with commercial and contractual matters
* Measurement and preparation of bills/quantities where required
* Maintaining accurate commercial records
* Working closely with operational teams and the client
* Assisting with final accounts and project close-out

* NEC contract experience would be advantageous but is not essential
* Power sector experience is not required
* Commercially aware with a good understanding of core QS responsibilities
* Confident communicator able to build relationships with clients and project teams
* Keen, enthusiastic and willing to take ownership
* Ambitious to continue developing technically and commercially
Quantity Surveyor – The Package
