Senior Quantity Surveyor, Tier 2

Infrastructure (Rail / Energy / Defence / Highways)

£350-£450/day Outside IR35

Fed up being a name on a spreadsheet at a Tier 1? Want to actually be involved in the fight?

We're working with a specialist M&E, comms, fire, HVAC and cabling contractor delivering fit-out on major Rail, Energy, Defence and Highways/tunnel infrastructure projects across the UK. They supply into the big Tier 1 main contractors - and they need QSs who know how to hold their ground when Tier 1 tries to short-pay an application or knock a variation without explanation.

This isn't a tick-box, senior sit-back role. You'll be down in the detail - managing applications, chasing change, holding firm on your numbers, and building relationships that get you paid what you're owed.

What you'll need:

Genuine Tier 2/3 SME background - at least 70% of your career, not Tier 1 or client-side
A Services-leaning QS background: M&E, comms, fire, HVAC, cabling/containment
Experience in infrastructure or highly regulated environments (rail experience is a bonus, not a requirement)
The drive to fight your corner - and the diplomacy to do it without burning bridges
Hungry to make a name for yourself - this suits someone still early-mid career with something to proveWhat's on offer:

£350-£450 per day (Outside IR35), depending on route
Genuine involvement in live infrastructure projects, not just admin
A business that wants to develop and invest in you, not just plug a gapIf your CV is full of Tier 1 household names, this probably isn't for you. If you've been grafting for an SME getting your applications paid the hard way - get in touch.
