About this role
Senior Quantity Surveyor
Glasgow
£65,000-75,000 + Car + Benefits
Step into the energy sector with long-term job security and career progression built in.
With projects lined up for the next 5-10 years, you'll commercially manage high-value Overhead Line, Underground Cable and Substation projects, gaining deep sector expertise and opening doors to senior leadership positions as the business expands.
Enjoy flexible and hybrid working arrangements that fit around your life, not the other way round. You'll also benefit from a generous holiday entitlement, with the option to buy an extra five days if you need them.
There's a strong focus on continuous learning and development, with mentoring programmes and support that will help you sharpen your commercial skills and prepare you for future promotions.
On top of that, you'll get a contributory pension scheme, private medical insurance, and the option to join a car scheme, all designed to give you peace of mind both now and later on.
What you'll do
Take full commercial responsibility for strategic energy projects across Scotland, shaping them with your expertise and ensuring they hit the right commercial targets. You'll provide accurate, timely reports and advice, helping the management team make the best decisions.
Work through both pre and post-contract stages, giving you a well-rounded view of the commercial process and strengthening your ability to manage large-value subcontracts independently.
What you'll need
* A BSc in Quantity Surveying or another commercially related discipline
* Strong knowledge of commercial and financial management systems like COINS, Sphere or Commercial Manager
* NEC experience and a background in large power infrastructure or civil engineering
You'll need to have managed large-value subcontracts before, as you'll be expected to work autonomously and support the wider team.
About the company
