Managing Quantity Surveyor - Major Infrastructure Project
£70,000-£85,000 + £5,000 car allowance or company car
I'm currently working with a major UK infrastructure contractor who are looking to appoint a Managing Quantity Surveyor to join one of the country's most significant infrastructure projects.
This is a genuinely high-profile project involving the construction of a new road connection including a major tunnel beneath a key waterway. With a project value of more than £1bn, this is an opportunity to join a landmark project that will have a lasting impact on the region's transport network.
The Role
As Managing Quantity Surveyor, you'll take a lead role within the commercial function, managing a team of Quantity Surveyors and overseeing the commercial delivery of significant civils packages from the very beginning of the project.
Key Responsibilities
- Leading and mentoring a team of Quantity Surveyors
- Managing subcontract administration across civils and/or utility packages
- Cost management, valuations, forecasting, and change control
- Commercial management of project interfaces and associated risks
- Managing change and claims in accordance with the contract
- Working closely with design, construction, and client teams to identify and resolve commercial risks
- Preparing cost/value reconciliations, commercial reports, and risk registers
- Supporting the wider project programme through effective commercial management
- Identifying opportunities to improve commercial processes through LEAN and digital initiatives

Why consider it?
There are plenty of MQS roles available, but opportunities to work on infrastructure projects of this scale are considerably less common.
If you're an experienced Managing Quantity Surveyor, Senior Quantity Surveyor, or Commercial Manager with a strong civils/infrastructure background and solid NEC experience, this could be an excellent opportunity to take the next step in your career and work on a project that will be talked about for decades.
