This is not a senior management or strategic role - the right people will be "doers" who are comfortable rolling up their sleeves and delivering the day-to-day QS duties at a high standard.

·Experience Level: Proven track record as a Quantity Surveyor or Senior Quantity Surveyor (minimum 5+ years' experience).
·Contracts: Essential - strong working knowledge of NEC forms of contract.
·Sector Background: Highways experience is desirable, but strong subcontract management experience in civil engineering/infrastructure is equally valued.
·Approach: Proactive, detail-oriented, and commercially astute - someone who delivers, not just oversees.
