Principal Quantity Surveyor

A client organisation is recruiting a Principal Quantity Surveyor to join its capital delivery team. You will play a pivotal role in the successful delivery of a significant infrastructure project, with an anticipated capital value of up to £350m, dependent on the final option selected.

The project is currently at outline design stage, giving you the opportunity to shape the commercial strategy, influence procurement and manage cost and risk before key decisions are locked in.

The role will further develop your already extensive NEC contract experience while providing major project exposure that will strengthen your long term career prospects. You'll also benefit through an improved work life balance, with only two days a week required in the office.

Alongside your project focused responsibilities, you will also help address commercial challenges across the wider programme, supporting projects facing uncertainty, commercial pressure, mediation or claims.

You will thrive in an ambiguous environment, enjoy solving difficult problems and remain calm and effective when projects are under scrutiny.

To be successful, you will need to demonstrate:
Extensive experience of working with NEC contracts (option C essential)
Approximately 10–15 years of relevant post graduate experience
A strong background in major infrastructure projects
A degree in Quantity Surveying or a related discipline
Chartered status through RICS or CICES
On offer is a salary of between £70,000 – £80,000, together with an annual bonus of up to 15%, a £6,000 car allowance, private healthcare and a generous 12% employer pension contribution.

If you are ready to make a meaningful impact, help deliver essential infrastructure and contribute to a more sustainable future for millions of people, please apply by email or contact Rob on (phone number removed).
