Senior Quantity Surveyor - Power Infrastructure Framework | York / Leeds
Salary: £55,000 to £68,000 + £6,000-£7,000 travel allowance + package
Are you a Senior Quantity Surveyor looking for long-term security on a nationally significant programme? I'm recruiting on behalf of a leading UK main contractor for a Senior QS to join a major, multi-year National Grid framework delivering critical power infrastructure upgrades across Yorkshire.
This is a substantial programme focused on strengthening and enabling the high-voltage electricity transmission network. The works are technically diverse, spanning extensive earthworks, multiple small civil structures, and upgrades to key elements of the transmission infrastructure. If you want variety, stability, and genuine progression, this ticks every box.
The Role
As Senior Quantity Surveyor, you'll take day-to-day commercial ownership of defined work packages across the framework, working closely alongside the Managing QS. It's a highly visible position within the commercial team - offering real autonomy with strong support behind you.
Day to day, you'll be responsible for:
- Full commercial management of NEC contracts (primarily ECC Option C) from early works through to final account
- Cost control, CVR reporting, and forecasting across complex civil and power infrastructure works
- Management and agreement of compensation events and contract variations
- Subcontract procurement, measurement, and commercial administration
- Collaborative working with site teams, planners, and the client to drive value and manage risk
- Contributing to continuous improvement initiatives across the framework programme
