Site Measurements & Take-offs: Perform detailed quantity take-offs from drawings and conduct regular site measurements for rail-specific civils, earthworks, and structural packages
Cost Control & Auditing: Conduct "Open Book" cost-reimbursable auditing to ensure all defined costs are legitimate and captured in line with the main contract requirements
Payment Assessments: Review and certify subcontractor payment applications, ensuring compliance with the Housing Grants, Construction and Regeneration Act

Requirements:

Industry Experience: Proven track record working as a QS on major Rail or Heavy Civils projects (ideally with a Tier 1 Main Contractor)

Exceptional Rate: Secure one of the highest daily rates currently available in the London/Ruislip region
Project Longevity: Join a project with years of confirmed delivery ahead
Hybrid Balance: A sustainable 3/2 split between site and home-based working
