Job Description

UK (Regional Projects) | Major Civil Engineering Contractor


Are you a commercially astute and driven QS ready to step into a broader role?


We’re representing a major UK Civil Contractor with projected increase in revenue of £20m - £30m within 12 months.


This is a business that recognises and develops commercial talent – with both the Regional Director and Civils Director having progressed from Quantity Surveying backgrounds. Internal progression is real, visible, and encouraged. Staff retention is strong, and many commercial professionals have progressed into senior leadership and other areas of the business.


The Role

This position sits between the commercial department and project management teams, acting as a key commercial lead across both 2 frameworks.


While pricing capability is important, this role is more about commercial leadership — taking ownership of projects, supporting delivery teams, and confidently driving commercial performance.

You will not simply be handed drawings and told to price a job. Instead, you’ll work collaboratively with managers and operational teams to gather information, shape commercial strategy, and ensure projects are delivered profitably.


About You

  • Quantity Surveyor / Senior QS background
  • Confident communicator — able to engage with managers and project teams
  • Strong commercial awareness and leadership mindset
  • The right attitude and ability to quickly understand pricing is crucial
  • Comfortable taking ownership and leading jobs commercially
  • Motivated by long-term progression


Why Join?

  • Major, growing contractor with secured frameworks
  • Clear progression pathways (leadership team are proof)
  • Strong commercial support network
  • Growing turnover and forward pipeline
  • Stable environment with excellent staff retention


If you’re looking for a business where commercial professionals are genuinely valued and developed — this is worth a confidential conversation.
