Senior Quantity Surveyor
[Employer hidden]
Hinkley Point C

Job Description:

[Employer hidden] Construction WORKS is a commercial new-build, fit-out, and refurbishment contractor operating across the South of England, with extensive experience in specialist industrial environments.
Are you frustrated by layers of bureaucracy limiting your ability to take full commercial ownership? Do you feel restricted in your current role, with little autonomy to make meaningful decisions?
At [Employer hidden] Construction WORKS, we empower our people to lead. We are seeking a Senior Quantity Surveyor who wants to take genuine ownership of the commercial functions—someone trusted to make decisions, drive outcomes, and play a key role within a strong, experienced team.

Join us and benefit from a collaborative environment where your expertise is valued, your voice is heard, and you are given the freedom and responsibility to shape project success.
Alternatively, if you already enjoy this level of autonomy and responsibility but are seeking a fresh challenge within a new environment, we would be equally keen to hear from you.
We are currently seeking an experienced Senior Quantity Surveyor to join our team working for a well-respected client in Bridgewater.

• Promote and develop commercial awareness within the team
• Ensure effective client relationship management is established and maintained
• Resolve issues related to contracts, subcontracts, and commercial operations
• Review, collate, and report on cost/value data provided by the QS team, and present findings to the Commercial Director
• Collaborate with all directors and operate as a key member of the wider team
• Contribute to the review and improvement of company commercial procedures, making recommendations as appropriate
• Identify and pursue business growth opportunities, including new initiatives and strategic partnerships
• Analyse sales and performance data to recommend actions that enhance business outcomes
• Assess commercial and contractual risks, providing informed recommendations based on thorough analysis
• Take on additional duties as required, including Quantity Surveyor tasks where necessary
• Maintain composure and deliver results effectively under pressure and to tight deadlines

• Exceptional attention to detail
• Excellent numeracy skills
• Outstanding communication and interpersonal abilities
• Proficient IT skills, with good working knowledge of relevant software
• Detailed knowledge of current and historical building methods, construction technologies, materials, and related legal and business matters
• Experience in client liaison and relationship management
• Full UK driving licence.
• Ability to pass Drugs & Alcohol (D&A) testing and BPSS (Baseline Personnel Security Standard) vetting.
• Eligibility to live and work in the UK

Other:

• Competitive salary
• Working hours: Monday to Friday, 07:30–16:00 (excluding travel time)
