Role Description
The Resolute Group have been retained by a Tier 1 Civil Engineering contractor to secure a Senior Quantity Surveyor for the next major project starting on the Shetland Islands.
Operating within a small Commercial Team, your role is project-based, working closely with the project team and reporting to the Commercial Manager for the £80m scheme.
The contract is under NEC; my client is looking for a Senior Quantity Surveyor who has delivered projects under NEC3/4 in the Infrastructure/heavy civils sector.
This is a great opportunity to join the project during the ECI phase, before work starts on site. Understanding the contract and identifying any early risks with the team and client to ensure the project is delivered smoothly.
Your duties will include:
- Manage project budgets by creating monthly Cost Value Reconciliations (CVRs) to track profit and loss.
- Forecast future cash flow and predict final project expenses to prevent overspending.
- Price and negotiate variations caused by unexpected civil engineering site conditions.
- Administer the contract to ensure all legal obligations are met.
- Assess and mitigate financial risks by maintaining a detailed project risk register.
- Procure and manage subcontractors by reviewing payment applications against completed site work.
- Lead and mentor a commercial team of junior and assistant quantity surveyors.
- The Senior Quantity Surveyor will collaborate with project managers and clients to report on financial health and save costs.
This is the perfect opportunity to either progress in to a Commercial Manager position in the next 3 years or move your skills from other sectors in to the Energy and Power sector which has a £12bn of projects to deliver over the next 6 years in Scotland.
If you are part of a £20m+ project, working under an NEC form of contract, the ideal sector background can be:
- Highways
- Rail
- Water
- Utilities
- Power / Energy
- Nuclear
- Environmental / Flood / Coast defence
Qualifications / Experience
- Degree in Quantity Surveying or a construction-based subject.
- NEC contract experience
- Happy to lodge away for 10 days at a time (fully expensed)
