Shape the commercial success of complex infrastructure projects.
Are you ready to use your commercial expertise on some of the UK’s most important and high-profile infrastructure programmes? Join our Complex Projects team as a Senior Quantity Surveyor and help deliver work that makes a real difference for our clients, communities, and the environment.
At AtkinsRéalis, collaboration is at the heart of how we work. You’ll be part of a supportive, forward-thinking team where your voice is heard, your contribution is valued, and your development is actively encouraged. Flexible and remote working are central to our culture, so we’re happy to talk about how we can support you to do your best work.
This is an opportunity to take a leading commercial role across complex infrastructure projects, working with clients and colleagues in our north east region to deliver clear, robust, and value-driven outcomes. You’ll support project delivery, strengthen client relationships, mentor others, and help shape a service offering built on technical excellence, commercial discipline, and trusted advice.
Our teams work across a wide range of complex infrastructure sectors, including rail, highways, utilities, defence, energy, and aviation. You’ll bring your experience, curiosity, and judgement to help solve commercial challenges and deliver excellent outcomes for our clients including HS2, TRU, ECDP, Network Rail, National highways and Yorkshire Water.
Your role
- Lead and support the commercial delivery of complex infrastructure projects, helping to manage cost, change, risk, value, and contractual performance.
- Build trusted relationships with clients and project teams through clear communication, proactive engagement, and practical commercial advice.
- Apply your knowledge of the NEC suite and wider commercial processes to support well-informed decisions and disciplined project delivery.
- Contribute to procurement, contract administration, forecasting, reporting, and commercial governance activities across commissions.
- Support, coach, and develop colleagues, helping to create an inclusive team environment where people can grow, contribute, and thrive.
- Work with senior leaders to strengthen our service offering, identify opportunities, and enhance the value we bring to clients.
