Senior Quantity Surveyor - Decommissioning Commercial Function

Your Purpose:

We are seeking a commercially driven Senior Quantity Surveyor to lead and support colleagues across a multi-disciplinary decommissioning business, contributing to the development of a high-performing and sustainable commercial function.

In this role, you will manage and coordinate approximately £75 million per annum of contractual spend. This includes overseeing the coordination and reporting of organisation-wide financial information such as defined cost, disallowed Cost, Fee allocations, invoicing, and timesheet data. You will operate across a variety of contract types, engaging with both client-facing and subcontractor-facing responsibilities.

With support, you will help develop and deploy innovative work-smart tools to automate and enhance your role's performance, driving productivity improvements across the team. This may involve the implementation, testing, and use of emerging technologies such as Artificial Intelligence, process automation, and zero-time-input mechanisms.

You will demonstrate commercial and collaborative leadership across a portfolio of clients and supply chain partners. Your primary focus will be on enhancing contract delivery (particularly NEC4), while addressing the complexities of bespoke terms and conditions.

Key responsibilities include managing client commercial interfaces, including Early Warnings, Compensation Events, Loss & Expense claims, and conflict avoidance processes. You will be accountable for risk management and issue resolution, including appropriate escalation.

You will also oversee procurement delivery - from strategy development and tendering through to negotiation and implementation of key agreements - with a strong emphasis on engaging Small and Medium Enterprises within the supply chain.

This role plays a critical part in supporting the commercial dimension of social value delivery across decommissioning projects. Through performance incentivisation, both upward and downward facing, you will help enhance client satisfaction and commercial performance through efficiency, excellence, and collaboration.

You will work alongside project management and project controls teams across the full project, programme, and portfolio lifecycle to ensure seamless commercial integration.

What You Can Bring:

Strong contractual knowledge and hands-on experience managing contract processes (experience with NEC3 and/or NEC4 is preferred).

Procurement expertise, including developing and executing procurement and contracting strategies.

A collaborative mindset, ideally with familiarity with ISO44001:2017 or equivalent partnership frameworks.

Experience using online contract and commercial management platforms (e.g., CEMAR, Asite, EuroDyn, BravoSolutions).

Knowledge of commercial risk management and risk mitigation strategies.

Understanding of, and ability to work with, a range of contract types and options (e.g., NEC ECC, PSC, TSC, SC, and NEC Main Options A-G; experience with JCT, FIDIC, or similar is also advantageous).

Commercial understanding of construction and demolition programmes, with the ability to assess and evaluate from a quantity surveying perspective.

A degree in Quantity Surveying, Commercial Management, or a related discipline.

Progress toward chartered professional status (e.g., MRICS, MCIPS or equivalent) is desirable.

We are an equal opportunity employer and value diversity in our company. We do not discriminate on the basis of race, religion, colour, national origin, gender, sexual orientation, age, marital status, veteran status, or disability status
