Senior Quantity Surveyor
Location: Dundee / Scottish Central Belt (Hybrid Working)
Salary: £62,000 - £70,000 + Company Car or Car Allowance + Private Healthcare + Pension + 25 days leave and bank holidays
An exciting opportunity has arisen for a Senior Quantity Surveyor to join the growing power division of a leading main contractor in Scotland. My client is delivering a complex £150m high-voltage power infrastructure scheme along the East Coast of Scotland, involving extensive upgrades and replacements to high voltage, overhead lines that will support the UK's transition to a more resilient and sustainable energy network.
This is an excellent opportunity to join a business with a growing pipeline of complex, multi-million-pound power and infrastructure projects across Scotland, and an employer that can offer excellent long-term career opportunities and continued professional development.
The Role
Reporting into the commercial leadership team, you will be a key member of the project team responsible for managing the commercial performance of a major infrastructure project delivered under the NEC suite of contracts.
A significant focus of the role will be the management of change, including the assessment, pricing, and agreement of compensation events and variations, ensuring the project maximizes commercial entitlement while maintaining strong client relationships.
