Reporting to the Senior Commercial Manager, the Quantity Surveyor (QS) will provide revenue protection support to our on-site operations teams and safeguard the financial and contractual interests of the business. This role is pivotal in ensuring commercial control, accurate variation cost management, and the successful delivery of high-quality projects in line with client and business expectations. The QS will work in close partnership with Project Managers, Commercial Managers and Operations Managers to ensure the commercial integrity of our projects is maintained throughout the project lifecycle. A key focus of the role is to safeguard project margins by proactively identifying and mitigating potential risks to profitability before they materialise. This will be achieved through the delivery of strong, hands-on commercial support to site-based teams, rigorous enforcement of contractual obligations, and diligent cost control. The QS will play a critical role in ensuring that commercial best practices are consistently applied, enabling informed decision-making and reinforcing the financial resilience of the business. The QS will bring a demonstrated history of success on Hyperscale Data Centre projects, with in-depth expertise in all relevant technical specifications and commercial documentation. They will exhibit strong interpersonal abilities and effectively engage across all levels of the organisation. Proven leadership capabilities, along with exceptional communication and influencing skills, will enable them to collaborate confidently with both internal teams and external stakeholders. Whilst this position will primarily support the on-site project teams, it will also carry the responsibility of holding teams accountable when business processes and commercial protocols are not being followed. The QS will be expected to constructively challenge non-compliance, escalate concerns where necessary, and drive adherence to best practices that protect the business’s financial and contractual position. The role demands the ability to confidently guide and influence operational teams while upholding governance standards, all without undermining a collaborative working environment.
