Job Description
Quantity Surveyor (Pre-Contract / Estimating)
Location: London / Essex (Hybrid)
Salary: Up to £73,000 + Outstanding Benefits
We're recruiting on behalf of a leading Train Operating Company looking to appoint a Quantity Surveyor to support a major programme of station redevelopment and asset investment across its rail network.
This is a fantastic opportunity to join a business investing heavily in its infrastructure, with a long-term pipeline of work and one of the strongest benefits packages you'll find in the rail industry.
Unlike many Quantity Surveying positions, this role has a real focus on pre-contract commercial management and estimating. You'll be developing cost estimates from outline designs, supporting business cases and procurement strategies, and helping shape projects before they move into delivery.
If you're looking to move away from purely post-contract project work and into a role where you can influence projects from the very beginning, this is well worth considering.
The Role
Working within the Asset Commercial team, you'll provide commercial support across a wide range of civils and M&E projects, working alongside engineers, designers and project managers to ensure projects are commercially robust from concept through to completion.
Responsibilities include:
- Producing cost estimates from outline designs
- Supporting business cases and investment decisions
- Budget development and cost planning
- Pre-contract commercial support
- Procurement and tender management
- Cost forecasting and commercial reporting
- Working across civils and M&E asset projects
- Contract administration and stakeholder management
What We're Looking For
- Quantity Surveying experience within rail or infrastructure
- Strong estimating and pre-contract commercial experience
- Ability to interpret technical designs and develop accurate cost estimates
- Experience across both Civils and M&E projects
- Good understanding of NEC contracts
- Strong commercial awareness and communication skills
Why Join?
Alongside a salary of up to £73,000, you'll benefit from an excellent package including:
- Hybrid working
- 25 days annual leave plus bank holidays
- Option to purchase up to 5 additional days annual leave
- Free travel on the company's rail network
- 75% discount on other National Rail services
- Access to the Railway Pension Scheme (a highly regarded defined benefit pension for eligible members)
- Cycle to Work scheme
- Discounted gym membership
- Retail discounts through My Staff Shop
- Long-term career opportunities within a business investing heavily in its stations and infrastructure
This is an excellent opportunity to join a business delivering major investment programmes while enjoying the stability, flexibility and benefits that are rarely found elsewhere in the infrastructure sector.
If you'd like to find out more, we'd love to hear from you.
