  • Support the Gated Business Lifecycle process
  • Pursue professional development and certification

Who we're looking for

  • BSc/MSc in Quantity Surveying or equivalent experience
  • Working towards or member of RICS, ICES, or CIOB
  • NEC 3 & 4 contract experience (any sector)
  • Strong communication and leadership skills

Why work for us

We deliver some of the UK’s most ambitious infrastructure projects. In addition to meaningful work, we offer:

  • Smart working (up to 40% remote)
  • 25 days annual leave (pro rata)
  • Family-friendly policies (e.g., 28 weeks full pay for maternity/adoption)
  • Pension, share plans, volunteering leave, and more

Nestled in the heart of the Scottish Highlands, Inverness offers a unique blend of city living and natural beauty.
