Quantity Surveyor - Highways & Civil Engineering

Location: East & London
Salary: 50000 - 70000 Package
Job Type: Permanent
Sector: Highways Surfacing Civil Engineering

Are you a Quantity Surveyor who understands the commercial realities of delivering highways surfacing or civil engineering projects

Were recruiting for an established highways and civil engineering contractor in the South East that is looking to strengthen its commercial team with an experienced Quantity Surveyor.

This isnt a role buried behind spreadsheets.

Youll work closely with the operational and senior management teams taking commercial responsibility across live projects and ensuring works are properly valued variations are captured costs remain controlled and projects deliver the margins expected.

The business operates across highways surfacing and associated civil engineering works so were particularly interested in Quantity Surveyors who understand fast-moving operational contracting environments rather than purely traditional building construction.

The Role

As Quantity Surveyor youll take responsibility for the commercial management of projects from initial handover through delivery and final account.

Youll be involved in:

  • Managing the commercial performance of highways and civil engineering projects.
  • Preparing valuations applications for payment and cost reports.
  • Identifying pricing and managing variations and compensation events.
  • Monitoring project costs forecasts margins and cash flow.
  • Managing subcontractor procurement accounts and payments.
  • Reviewing contracts and identifying commercial risks and opportunities.
  • Working closely with Contracts Managers Project Managers and operational teams.
  • Ensuring completed works are accurately measured and commercially recovered.
  • Supporting tender handovers and reviewing project budgets.
  • Managing contractual correspondence and maintaining appropriate commercial records.
  • Negotiating and agreeing final accounts.
  • Providing clear commercial information to senior management throughout project delivery.

What Were Looking For

Were interested in speaking with Quantity Surveyors from backgrounds including:

Highways Surfacing Road Construction Civil Engineering Infrastructure Groundworks Utilities S278 Works Public Realm Term Maintenance

Youll ideally bring:

  • Previous Quantity Surveying experience within civil engineering or infrastructure.
  • Strong commercial awareness and understanding of project profitability.
  • Experience managing valuations variations and final accounts.
  • Knowledge of subcontractor procurement and commercial management.
  • Experience working with NEC contracts would be particularly valuable.
  • Confidence working directly with operational teams and clients.
  • Strong negotiation and communication skills.
  • The ability to manage multiple projects and competing commercial priorities.
  • A practical understanding of how works are actually delivered on site.

Formal Quantity Surveying qualifications are advantageous but relevant highways/civils commercial experience is more important than having the perfect academic background.

Why Consider This Opportunity

This is an opportunity to join an established regional contractor where youll have genuine visibility and influence over project performance.

Rather than becoming another number within a huge commercial department youll work closely with the people actually running and delivering the projects.

The role offers:

  • 50000 - 70000 salary depending on experience
  • Competitive benefits package
  • Long-term permanent opportunity
  • Established South East project portfolio
  • Significant commercial responsibility
  • Direct exposure to senior management
  • Opportunity to develop as the business continues to grow

Interested

If youre currently working within highways surfacing or civil engineering and want a commercial role where you can genuinely influence how projects perform wed like to hear from you.

Apply confidentially and well provide further information on the business projects and opportunity before your details are shared with the client.
