Project Quantity Surveyor

Project Quantity Surveyor - Water & Civil Engineering (AMP8)
Location: Glossop, Derbyshire
Salary/Package: 60,000 - 65,000 + Package
Job Type: Permanent

About the Company
Our client is a turnkey design and build engineering contractor with a strong reputation in the water and wastewater sector.

Founded in 2001, the business now operates internationally, with a presence in the UK, Ireland and North America. Its portfolio covers water and wastewater treatment, energy infrastructure, marine and coastal, road and bridge, and urban regeneration projects.

The business combines in-house process engineering, civil engineering, MEICA and specialist techniques such as microtunnelling, shafts and caissons. This allows them to deliver complex schemes from design through to operation.

They have secured a substantial AMP8 programme across the North West. It includes river water quality improvement schemes for a major water company, with values from around 4m to 30m.

With new schemes due to start in Glossop in the new year, they are looking to appoint a Project Quantity Surveyor to lead the commercial delivery of these projects.

The Role
This is an excellent opportunity for a Project Quantity Surveyor to take commercial ownership of new AMP8 water infrastructure schemes in the Glossop area from the start.

The Glossop projects start in the new year. In the meantime, the successful candidate will work on other live schemes in the area to get to know the business, its systems and its clients before taking the lead on the Glossop projects.

You will be responsible for all commercial aspects of your projects, from target cost and procurement through to NEC4 contract administration, cost reporting and final account. You will work closely with project, engineering and site teams and the client's commercial team.

The role would suit a Quantity Surveyor from a contractor or subcontractor background with experience managing individual or multiple projects, ideally in water, civils or infrastructure.
