Job description

Octavius Infrastructure is proud to be part of the Southern Renewals Enterprise (SRE), a £9bn, 10-year programme (2024–2034) transforming how rail renewals are delivered across Network Rail's Southern region.

As one of a small number of Project 13 enterprise agreements, SRE represents a step change in how the industry collaborates — offering a rare opportunity to be part of a truly integrated, long-term programme focused on performance, efficiency and better outcomes.

We are expanding our commercial team and are looking for Senior Quantity Surveyors to support our Electrification & Plant (E&P) delivery, working across both our feeders and distribution portfolios.

These roles sit within separate delivery areas, supporting either a higher-value feeders programme (~£50m per year) or a high-volume distribution portfolio (~£35m per year) delivered at pace across multiple sites.

You'll be working on…. (what your role and responsibility is)

As a Senior Quantity Surveyor, you will support the robust commercial management of projects within either our feeders or distribution workstreams, depending on your placement.

Across both areas, you'll play a key role in ensuring strong commercial performance, supporting delivery teams to successfully manage cost, risk and contractual obligations in a fast-paced environment.

In this role, you will:

  • Manage the commercial performance of multiple projects or packages, maintaining visibility of cost, value and risk
  • Support cost control, forecasting and reporting, including CVR, applications and final accounts
  • Ensure contracts are administered effectively, with a strong focus on NEC compliance and governance
  • Work closely with delivery teams to identify risks and opportunities and drive commercial outcomes
  • Engage with supply chain partners, supporting procurement and ensuring effective cost management
  • Contribute to monthly reporting and commercial reviews, providing clear and accurate insights
  • Build strong working relationships across the project teams, clients and wider enterprise partners

Depending on the package, you'll either:

  • Support delivery of complex, higher-value feeder projects, or
  • Operate within a fast-paced, high-volume distribution environment, managing multiple live work fronts

You'll receive…

We offer a competitive rewards package, including:

  • Company Car scheme
  • Private Healthcare
  • Pension and Life Assurance
  • 25 days Annual Leave + your birthday off
  • Hybrid working (typically London / site c.3 days per week)
  • Enhanced family leave policies
  • Ongoing professional development and progression opportunities

About you…

You're someone who thrives in fast-paced, delivery-focused environments, managing multiple priorities while maintaining strong commercial control.
  • Experience operating at Senior Quantity Surveyor level across multiple projects or packages
  • Strong people and stakeholder skills, with the ability to build effective working relationships
  • The ability to manage competing priorities and maintain commercial oversight
  • Solid knowledge of contract administration, cost control and commercial reporting, with NEC experience
  • A proactive approach to managing risk, performance and outcomes

If you're looking for a role where you can develop your experience within a major rail programme and be part of a collaborative, long-term delivery model, we'd love to hear from you.

Apply today to be part of the SRE programme with Octavius.

Inclusion and diversity are important to us, we are an equal opportunities employer and value difference. We want and will continue to build an inclusive environment where our people thrive. We firmly believe constantly striving to build a truly diverse workforce is what makes us a strong business and will enable us to continue to solve important problems and deliver unrivalled value to both our customers and clients. If you need any specialist support throughout your application, we will work with you where we can to support your journey with us.
