Are you an experienced Quantity Surveyor looking to take the next step in your career with an established civil engineering contractor?
We are working with a leading Scottish civil engineering and infrastructure contractor who is looking to appoint a Quantity Surveyor to support the delivery of a significant energy infrastructure project on the Isle of Skye.

Based from the contractor's office in the north of Scotland, you will play an important role in the commercial management and financial control of the project, working closely with the wider project delivery team.
The project forms part of wider investment in Scotland's electricity transmission infrastructure, with works on Skye contributing to the reinforcement of the network and its capacity to support future energy demands.
While the role will primarily be office-based in the north of Scotland, there will be occasional requirements to visit site as the project progresses.

Managing the commercial aspects of civil engineering works throughout the project lifecycle.
Monitoring project costs, budgets and forecasts to ensure effective financial control.
Preparing and submitting applications for payment, valuations and final accounts.

Administering contracts, including the management of variations, compensation events and change control.
Identifying and managing commercial risks and opportunities.
Working closely with the operational team to ensure commercial targets and project objectives are achieved.
Maintaining accurate commercial records and providing regular financial reporting.
What we're looking for:
Approximately 4–5 years' experience working in a Quantity Surveying role within the construction or civil engineering industry.
Previous experience working on civil engineering or infrastructure projects.
A good understanding of NEC3 contract conditions and commercial administration.
Experience managing subcontractors, valuations, variations and project costs.
Strong commercial awareness, communication and organisational skills.
The ability to work effectively alongside operational and commercial teams.
Particularly advantageous:
Previous experience working on substation, power or energy infrastructure projects.
Experience working within the electricity transmission or utilities sectors.
A relevant degree or professional qualification in Quantity Surveying or Commercial Management.
Why consider this opportunity?
The opportunity to work on a significant energy infrastructure project in Scotland.
Join an established civil engineering contractor with a strong reputation across Scotland.
Be part of a growing team delivering important infrastructure works across the Highlands and Islands.
A North-based position with occasional site visits to the Isle of Skye.
The opportunity to further develop your commercial experience within the energy infrastructure sector.
