• Prepare detailed financial reports, forecasts, and risk assessments
• Mentor junior surveyors and contribute to a collaborative, knowledge-sharing culture
• Represent the business in client-facing meetings and project reviews

What We’re Looking For:

• A degree in Quantity Surveying or a related commercial discipline
• Ideally chartered (MRICS, MCIOB) or actively working toward professional accreditation
• Strong experience in infrastructure, engineering, or regulated project environments – ideally within nuclear, energy, or utilities
• Proven track record managing NEC contracts (NEC3 / NEC4 essential)
• Excellent stakeholder engagement, communication, and commercial reporting skills
• A proactive, organised, and commercially focused mindset

What’s in It for You:

• Competitive salary with annual reviews

• 25 days holiday + bank holidays
• Structured APC support with access to trained mentors and chartered professionals
• Clear career progression within a growing, well-respected team
