Title
Senior Quantity Surveyor (Pre-Contract)
Simply put, at KBR, we do things that matter.
Every day, our people work together to deliver solutions that are helping solve the great challenges and opportunities of our time, including climate change, national security, energy transition and security, cybersecurity, space exploration, and more.
We are seeking a Senior Quantity Surveyor with strong experience in the procurement of infrastructure projects to lead pre-contract commercial activities, with a focus on NEC4-based forms of Contract.
The role will involve developing procurement strategies, contract management plans, and ITT processes (including supporting competitive and compliant tender submissions). You will manage the tender process end-to-end, including preparation of documentation, commercial evaluation of bids, and supplier negotiations to achieve best value outcomes.
A strong understanding of NEC4 contracts (ECC/PSC) is essential, including pricing mechanisms, risk allocation, and preparation of commercial inputs to Scope. You will provide key input into commercial strategy, risk management, and value engineering during early project stages.
Reasons to use Rodeo
I’m in my final year doing Economics and I don’t know whether to apply for grad schemes now or do a masters first. What do you think?
Honest answer — it depends on where you want to end up. A lot of top grad schemes (Big 4, civil service, banking) don’t need a masters. Let’s look at the ones you’d be competitive for now, and we can decide if a masters actually adds anything.
Also worth knowing: most autumn 2026 applications are open now. Timing matters more than you think.
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.
