Job Description

Quantity Surveyor Scotland Wide Up to £57k DOE + Car Allowance + Package

First Task Professional are currently working alongside a civil engineering contractor who are gearing up for an extremely busy few years with multiple wins within big civil engineering projects in the energy / power sector.

As such, they have a requirement for QS s to work on projects in both the delivery stages and pre-construction.

Why join them? The contractor has a very prominent industry reputation and are known for being able to successfully deliver large scale civil engineering / infrastructure projects. They work in partnership with some of the best specialist contractors to ensure safety and quality are delivered to the highest standards. They also support their staff through chartership and various other CPD channels- so if you want to level up your career, this could be a great opportunity for you.

Naturally, most substations and converter stations are in more remote locations so there is a high likelihood of having to work away (with hybrid working) for the jobs.

Role Profile:

  • Uphold safety and environmental standards per company policy.
  • Communicate effectively with project managers, Managing QS, and engineering teams.
  • Supervise and mentor junior commercial staff.
  • Represent the company professionally in client meetings.
  • Manage supply chain commercial activities, including tendering, contract discussions, and subcontractor agreements.
  • Oversee subcontractor payments and final account negotiations.
  • Monitor site costs and produce timely performance data.
  • Prepare and present monthly and quarterly cost reports to senior management.
  • Contribute commercial insights to project strategy and performance discussions.
  • Ensure compliance with Risk and Opportunity management protocols.
  • Promote and suggest improvements to company procedures.
  • Manage change processes and ensure timely payment applications.
  • Provide contractual advice to the site team.
  • Participate in site commercial meetings.
  • Manage your time and the commercial team efficiently.
  • Assist in delivering commercial training to site staff.
