Quantity Surveyor / Senior Quantity Surveyor - South West (0871)

We're always keen to connect with talented commercial professionals who want to play a key role in delivering infrastructure projects that make a real difference.

At Octavius Regional Civil Engineering, our self-delivery model gives our commercial teams greater visibility, influence and ownership across the full project lifecycle. As we continue to grow our presence across the South West, we're looking to build our network of Quantity Surveyors and Senior Quantity Surveyors interested in future opportunities within our highways business.

Working predominantly on highways and civil engineering schemes, you'll partner closely with operational teams, clients and supply chain partners to help ensure projects are delivered safely, efficiently and commercially successfully.

Due to the nature of the work, a strong site presence is important, and opportunities are likely to involve regular travel across the South West region.

Depending on your experience and level, responsibilities may include:

• Managing the commercial performance of projects from award through to final account
• Producing and maintaining forecasts, CVRs, cost plans and cash flow reporting
• Supporting or leading NEC contract administration, including compensation events and change management
• Procuring, managing and developing relationships with subcontractors and supply chain partners
• Identifying and managing commercial risks and opportunities
• Supporting value engineering initiatives and driving commercial efficiencies
• Building strong relationships with clients and key project stakeholders
• Working closely with operational teams to ensure commercial decisions support successful project delivery
• Supporting, coaching or mentoring less experienced members of the commercial team

We're interested in hearing from commercially-minded professionals at either Quantity Surveyor or Senior Quantity Surveyor level with experience in civil engineering, highways or a similar infrastructure environment.

You'll ideally have:

• Experience in a Quantity Surveying role within civil engineering, highways or infrastructure projects
• Knowledge of NEC contracts and contract administration
• Experience of cost control, forecasting, reporting and change management
• Strong commercial awareness and problem-solving skills
• The ability to build effective relationships with clients, suppliers and project teams
• A proactive approach and the confidence to work independently
• Experience within a self-delivery or principal contractor environment would be advantageous
• Degree qualification in Quantity Surveying, Construction Management or a related discipline, or equivalent experience
• Membership of, or working towards membership of, RICS, CICES or a similar professional body is desirable
