We are recruiting for a Quantity Surveyor to join a specialist consultancy delivering commercial and project support services across the UK water and utilities sector. The business works closely with major water companies and delivery partners on long-term infrastructure frameworks and capital investment programmes. This is an excellent opportunity for a Quantity Surveyor with a strong civil engineering background to transition into the thriving water sector, one of the UK's fastest-growing infrastructure markets. With billions of pounds being invested across AMP8 and beyond, there has never been a better time to establish yourself within the industry. Working within a consultancy environment, you'll gain exposure to a diverse portfolio of projects, clients and delivery partners, developing a broader commercial skillset than is typically available within a single contractor business. The company offers flexible hybrid working, strong professional development support and genuine opportunities for long-term career progression. No previous water sector experience is required. Applications are welcomed from Quantity Surveyors with strong civil engineering and NEC contract experience who are looking to broaden their experience and develop within a growing sector.
