Looking for a long-term contract where you can play a key role on a major infrastructure framework with secured work through to 2028?
This is an opportunity for an experienced Quantity Surveyor to join a collaborative commercial team supporting a major infrastructure alliance across the Wales & Western region. Unlike a traditional contracting environment, this role is focused on partnership, collaboration, and maintaining strong client relationships while ensuring robust commercial management across a rolling portfolio of works.
The role would suit someone from rail, highways, water, utilities, or other alliance-based infrastructure environments who enjoys working closely with clients and operational teams to deliver successful commercial outcomes.
Where you will add value:
- Managing the commercial performance of a rolling portfolio of infrastructure works
- Producing accurate cost reporting and commercial forecasts
- Assessing and managing contract changes and compensation mechanisms
- Working collaboratively with clients and delivery teams to achieve project objectives
- Maintaining strong client relationships within an alliance delivery model
- Ensuring costs are allocated accurately and commercial risks are effectively managed
To succeed in this role, you will need:
- Previous experience operating as a Quantity Surveyor within infrastructure projects
- Experience working within alliance, or framework contract environments
- Strong commercial reporting, forecasting, and cost management experience
- Ability to manage multiple projects within a fast-paced portfolio environment
- NEC contract experience would be advantageous but is not essential
- Rail experience is beneficial but not required
Why this contract stands out:
- Long-term contract with work secured through to the next framework retender
- Flexible on sector background, welcoming candidates from rail, highways, water, and wider infrastructure
