Senior Quantity Surveyor / Commercial Manager

Job Description:

Overview:

We’re recruiting on behalf of a £100M engineering group with 18 autonomous business units spanning rotating machinery, electrical contracting, and utilities. This is a strategic, hands-on opportunity for a commercially minded professional to lead and embed best practice across a diverse and growing organisation.

The Role:

As Senior QS / Commercial Manager, you’ll be the group’s go-to expert for interpreting contracts, reducing risk, and embedding commercial discipline. You’ll work closely with business unit leaders to:

• Advise on contract interpretation and commercial decision-making
• Identify and mitigate risk exposure
• Develop and implement commercial processes
• Coach teams to improve strategic thinking and commercial awareness

This is not a traditional QS role—it’s focused on influence, education, and improvement, not pricing or valuations.

What We’re Looking For:

• Strong understanding of contract law and commercial risk
• Background in construction, engineering, or consultancy
• Clear, pragmatic communicator with strategic insight
• Comfortable working autonomously across varied teams and disciplines

Ideal candidates may come from a Quantity Surveying, claims consultancy, or legal background.

Package Includes:

• Grade B car (£640 allowance / £535 lease)
• Up to 10% annual bonus
• BUPA healthcare
• Gym membership
• 25 days holiday
• Pension scheme (4% / 6% / 8%)
