Quantity Surveyor

Our client doesn't just build services - they build smart, adaptable, and commercially sound environments.

They deliver technically-driven mechanical and electrical solutions with a reputation for flexibility, problem-solving, and results.

They are now seeking a Quantity Surveyor with a strong focus on contract negotiation, risk management, and dispute resolution - someone who thrives on shaping commercial outcomes and safeguarding project viability.

About the Role

This is a strategic commercial role, ideal for a QS who wants to focus on contracts over counts. You'll take the lead on contractual matters from pre-construction through to final account - advising, negotiating, and resolving as needed.

Key Responsibilities:

*

Negotiate main and subcontract agreements, ensuring commercially favourable and risk-mitigated terms.
*

Lead the handling of disputes and claims, managing the preparation of documentation and representing the business in resolution discussions.
*

Identify, assess, and mitigate contractual risks early in the project lifecycle.
*

Provide guidance on payment issues, variations, delay claims, and final accounts.
*

Work closely with directors, project teams, and external parties to maintain clear commercial control throughout delivery.
*

Navigate and apply JCT, NEC, and bespoke contract forms confidently and effectively.

What You'll Need

*

Experience working with a contractor - ideally in building services or design andamp; build environments.
*

Demonstrated expertise in contract negotiation and dispute resolution within the construction sector.
*

Strong working knowledge of JCT and NEC contracts.
*

Excellent communication and negotiation skills, with the ability to manage sensitive commercial issues.
*

A proactive, detail-driven approach and the confidence to advise at both project and senior management level.

Why This Role?

Our client operates in fast-paced, high-spec environments where getting the commercial structure right is as important as getting the install right. If you're a commercially astute QS who prefers a strategic, contract-first focus - this is your kind of role.
