Senior Quantity Surveyor - Infrastructure

We are currently partnering with a leading infrastructure consultancy that is looking to strengthen its South West team with the appointment of a Senior Quantity Surveyor based in Exeter.

This is an excellent opportunity for an experienced Senior Quantity Surveyor who enjoys working across a varied infrastructure portfolio and is looking to join a business that offers genuine flexibility, strong career development opportunities and exposure to some of the UK's most significant infrastructure projects.

My client has an established presence across the UK and is continuing to grow its South West operation, with a strong pipeline of work across the Rail, Highways and wider Infrastructure sectors.

As a Senior Quantity Surveyor, you'll play a key role in the commercial delivery of projects ranging from nationally significant infrastructure programmes through to regional transport and utility schemes.

The business actively encourages exposure to different sectors and clients, providing an opportunity to broaden your experience rather than becoming tied to a single framework or project type.

Key responsibilities will include:

• Leading pre and post-contract commercial activities
• NEC contract administration and commercial management
• Cost planning, forecasting and reporting
• Managing compensation events and change control
• Providing commercial advice to clients and project teams
• Managing stakeholder relationships
• Supporting and mentoring junior team members
• Identifying and managing commercial risks and opportunities

My client is keen to speak with commercially driven professionals who can work independently while contributing to a collaborative team environment.

To be considered, you should have:

• Experience working as a Senior Quantity Surveyor within infrastructure projects
• Strong NEC contract experience (NEC3 or NEC4)
• A background within sectors such as Highways, Rail, Water, Utilities or Major Infrastructure
• Excellent communication and client-facing skills
• The ability to manage projects and workload autonomously
• A proactive approach and strong attention to detail

Candidates may come from a consultancy, contractor or client-side background.

Chartered status is desirable, although individuals actively working towards chartership are equally encouraged to apply.

One of the key attractions of this opportunity is the culture. My client offers the flexibility and work-life balance often difficult to find elsewhere in the industry, while still providing access to high-profile projects and clear career progression.

Benefits include:

• Hybrid and flexible working arrangements (2/3 days in the office or on client site)
• Private medical insurance
• Enhanced pension scheme (Up to 10% employer contribution with 5% from employee)
• 25 days annual leave plus bank holidays
• Fully funded training and professional development
• Support towards chartership
• Exposure to multiple infrastructure sectors and clients
• Collaborative, supportive team environment with no micromanagement culture

The position is based in Exeter with a hybrid working model, combining office, home and client-site working. Candidates should ideally be within reasonable commuting distance of Exeter, although relocation will be considered for the right individual.

If you're a Senior Quantity Surveyor looking for a role that offers project variety, flexibility and long-term career development within a growing infrastructure team, I'd be happy to discuss the opportunity in more detail.
