Description

Quantity Surveyor – North-West

Ward & Burke are looking for an ambitious Quantity Surveyor to join our commercial team and support the delivery of several live construction and water infrastructure schemes across the North West region.

This is a hands-on role suited to someone who thrives in a fast-paced, growing business. You’ll manage costs from pre-contract through to final account, working closely with our engineers and site teams to ensure commercial control across your projects.

Manage subcontract procurement, including tender preparation, evaluation, and recommendation.
Negotiate and agree subcontract orders and variations.
Prepare and submit interim applications and manage client valuations.

Maintain accurate cost records, registers, and commercial documentation.

Work with project and site teams to identify and manage commercial risk.

Support final account negotiations and project close-out.

Requirements

Minimum 3 years experience as a Quantity Surveyor within construction, civil engineering, or water infrastructure.
Strong understanding of NEC contracts.
Experience with cost reporting, valuations, and subcontract management.
Commercially astute with strong analytical and negotiation skills.
Confident working independently and managing your own workload.
Degree or equivalent qualification in Quantity Surveying or Commercial Management (desirable).
UK driving license
