Freelance Quantity Surveyor (NEC contract experience)

Quantity Surveyor – Civils / Utilities – Lower Thames Crossing Specialist drilling and civil engineering subcontractor requires an experienced Quantity Surveyor to support a newly secured package of works on the Lower Thames Crossing. The company has secured a trenching and conversion/diversion works contract associated with the relocation of a water main. The initial requirement is for approximately 3 months, although there is strong potential for the role to extend significantly as the project and scope develop. The Role: * Commercial management of the subcontract package. * Working under an NEC Option E contract. * Managing applications, variations, compensation events and commercial reporting. * Identifying contractual and commercial opportunities throughout the works. * Working closely with the operational team to ensure all additional works and changes are properly captured and recovered. * Proactively managing the contract to maximise value and commercial return. * Liaising with the client and wider project team. The Candidate: We are looking for a commercially strong and proactive QS rather than someone who simply administers the contract. You should have: * Strong NEC contract experience, ideally specifically NEC Option E. * Previous experience within civil engineering, utilities, infrastructure, highways or specialist subcontracting. * Good understanding of change management and compensation events. * A commercially savvy approach with the ability to identify and extract value from the contract. * Confidence dealing with clients and operational teams. * Ability to hit the ground running on a major infrastructure project. This is an excellent opportunity to join a specialist contractor on a significant package of works connected to one of the UK's largest infrastructure projects, with the potential for the initial 3-month assignment to develop into a much longer-term opportunity.
