Quantity Surveyor

Project Quantity Surveyor – Heathrow Airport
Location: Heathrow Airport, London
Contract Type: Permanent
Salary: £85,000 – £95,000 + bonus + benefits
About the Opportunity
This is a standout opportunity to join a rapidly expanding specialist contractor delivering some of the most complex and high-profile civils packages at Heathrow Airport.
Over the last 12 months, the contractor’s Heathrow workload has scaled dramatically from £3m to £20m, with a clear pipeline in place to grow this to circa £50m this year alone through secured and anticipated additional packages. This is not a static portfolio - it is a live, fast-growing programme of works driven by repeat success and strong client relationships.
As a Project Quantity Surveyor, you will be stepping into a business where growth is already happening, and your role will directly influence how effectively that expansion is delivered commercially.
This is a chance to join a contractor at a pivotal stage: established enough to be trusted with major airport infrastructure works, but still in a phase of aggressive and structured growth, where high performers gain significant responsibility quickly.
Key Responsibilities
* Take full commercial ownership of heavy civils packages, including works on Terminal upgrades
* Manage NEC contracts, working closely with the main civils contractor and project stakeholders
* Lead on cost reporting, valuations, forecasting, budgets, and commercial strategy
* Support and contribute to major tendering activity, including an upcoming large-scale demolition scheme in Terminal 1
* Drive cost control, risk management, and margin protection across live projects
* Collaborate closely with delivery teams to track performance and ensure financial accuracy across all packages
Requirements
* Proven experience as a Project Quantity Surveyor on major civils, infrastructure, or airport projects
* Strong working knowledge of NEC contracts and ideally self-delivery projects
* Demonstrable experience managing multi-million-pound project portfolios
* Confident taking full commercial ownership of projects end-to-end
* Strong communication and negotiation skills, able to engage directly with contractors and senior stakeholders
Why Join This Contractor?
* Be part of a high-growth contractor scaling its Heathrow portfolio at pace
* Work on a programme expanding from £20m to a projected £50m+ pipeline within a year
* Genuine opportunity to take full commercial ownership of infrastructure packages
* Direct exposure to senior stakeholders and high-value decision-making
* Broad project exposure across civils, upgrades, and demolition schemes within a live airport environment
* Join a team where responsibility, progression, and impact increase with performance and growth of the business
