Job Description:

We are currently recruiting for an experienced Senior Quantity Surveyor on behalf of a leading Tier 1 Main Contractor. Enabling works have already started on site, and the project is set to get fully underway this January. This is an exciting opportunity to lead the commercial function on a high-profile, secure-environment project, with a flexible hybrid working model: 3 days a week from home or the Bristol office, and 2 days a week on site in Exeter.

The Project and Scope of Works: The project covers a diverse range of packages across the facility, giving you great exposure to varied technical works. Packages include (but are not limited to):

• Full CCTV replacement

• Kitchen refit

• Gas works(Note: Candidates do not need prior experience across every single package listed above)

Key Responsibilities:

• Commercial Leadership: Take full commercial and financial lead on major packages, overseeing procurement strategies, subcontractor management, complex valuations, variations, and final account negotiations.

• Financial Reporting and Control: Work closely with senior leadership and the project delivery team to drive robust commercial control, accurate cost-value reconciliations (CVR), and transparent financial forecasting.

• Subcontract Management: Administer various standard forms of subcontract, manage supply chain relationships, and mitigate commercial risks.

• Mentorship and Collaboration: Provide guidance and support to junior commercial team members where required, fostering a high-performing culture.

• Compliance and Security: Ensure adherence to strict secure-site protocols, governance, and security clearance procedures.

What We Are Looking For:

• Proven Experience: Extensive commercial experience operating at a Senior Quantity Surveyor level, ideally coming from a Main Contractor background.

• Sector Background: Previous experience within the Ministry of Justice (MOJ) or secure/custodial environments would be a distinct advantage, though not essential.

• Autonomous Leadership: Ability to lead packages independently, take full ownership of the commercial process, and manage responsibilities effectively across hybrid settings.

• Clearance: Must be willing and able to undergo SC Clearance.
