An exciting opportunity has arisen for a Senior Quantity Surveyor to join one of the UK's leading infrastructure contractors delivering a complex and high value infrastructure project in Scotland.

- Managing applications, valuations, payments and final accounts.

- Working closely with operational teams to ensure commercial performance is maintained.
- Developing and maintaining strong relationships with the client, subcontractors and supply chain.
Reasons to use Rodeo
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
About You
We're looking for an experienced Quantity Surveyor with a background in major infrastructure, utilities, energy or civil engineering projects.
You'll ideally have experience working on large-scale projects for a main contractor and be comfortable operating in a commercially demanding environment.
Experience of NEC contracts would be particularly relevant, along with a strong understanding of subcontract management, change control, forecasting and commercial reporting.
Most importantly, we're looking for someone who can operate autonomously, communicate effectively with both commercial and operational teams, and take ownership of their area of the project.
Location & Flexibility
The project has a site office in Elgin, although there is considerable flexibility around where the successful candidate is based.
You could be based in the Central Belt and travel to Elgin around 3 days per week (expenses paid), or potentially work from the contractor's Inverness office if that provides a more practical base.
Get help with your application
Your very own career expert that helps elevate your application to the next level.
The project team is willing to be flexible around location and working arrangements for the right person, so if you're interested in the role but concerned about the logistics of working in Elgin, it's worth having a conversation.
What's on Offer?
- £60,000 - £84,000 salary, depending on experience
- Company car or car allowance
- 25 days annual leave + bank holidays
- Option to purchase up to 10 additional days
- Pension
- Private healthcare
- Flexible working arrangements
- Opportunity to work on a major HV infrastructure project
- Strong long-term career opportunities with a major UK infrastructure contractor
