We’re looking for a Quantity Surveyor with a minimum of 3 years' experience to join our Derby-based civil engineering client.

The business works across groundworks, drainage, reinforced concrete and external works projects, so you’ll be supporting a varied mix of schemes rather than being tied to one type of work. The projects our clients work on vary from £100k - £5m value. 

The role will be split between the office and project sites. Standard hours are 8am - 5pm, Monday to Friday.

What we’re looking for

  • Minimum 3 years' Quantity Surveying experience
  • Previous civil engineering experience
  • Good working knowledge of NEC3 and/or NEC4 contracts
  • A relevant Quantity Surveying qualification, such as a degree, HNC/HND or equivalent
  • Experience with valuations, variations, cost reporting and subcontractor accounts
  • Confident working across both office and site environments
  • Full UK driving licence

What you’ll be doing

  • Commercially supporting civil engineering projects from start through to final account
  • Preparing valuations and applications for payment
  • Managing variations and compensation events
  • Monitoring project costs, forecasts and margins
  • Managing subcontractor packages and accounts
  • Working closely with site teams, project managers and clients
  • Supporting projects across groundworks, drainage, reinforced concrete and external works

You’ll be based from the Derby office with regular travel to sites as required. A car allowance is provided for site travel.
