Help drive efficiency in the green energy transition
We are looking for a Quantity Surveyor to join our Infrastructure Delivery (ID) team based in our South Regions. This role requires a hybrid working approach with a mix of home, travel to sites and office working.
As owners of Wales and England’s electricity transmission network, we take green energy seriously. Between now and 2026 we’re investing £29 billion into the decarbonisation of energy systems.
Would you like to be involved in this vital transition? If you’re an experienced Quantity Surveyor who wants more responsibility and the chance to work on high-value, complex schemes, we’d like to hear from you. This is an exciting opportunity to play a key role in the UK’s transition to clean energy.
As Quantity Surveyor, you will provide contract and commercial guidance to the project teams in supporting the development and delivery of connection and infrastructure projects safely, on time and within budget.
Our customers include everyone who uses electricity in England and Wales. Acting on behalf of these people, you’ll help ensure that we deliver our projects in the most commercially effective way.
What you’ll be doing
You’ll support procurement activities associated with the projects, acting as the key commercial representative providing guidance on commercial and contract management considerations and advising on contract options and budget estimates, including risk and contingency allowances.
You’ll be responsible for the quality assurance of construction contracts, including maintaining accurate contractor data records, providing commercial and contract management support, guidance and coaching to the project delivery team and ensuring contractor costs are robustly managed across the portfolio of projects.
You’ll ensure contract compliance, monitoring of spend against agreed budgets, KPIs and other metrics. Helping your project team develop and maintain cost forecasts will be a key responsibility.
You’ll produce all necessary contract forms such as valuations and payment recommendations and instructions and communications for the assigned project, leading on providing independent reviews and advice on variations and compensation events, supporting any escalation procedures and dispute avoidance and resolution processes.
You’ll build strong relationships with a range of stakeholders, including Project Managers, Planners, Accountants, Operational colleagues and other specialists, contractors, and colleagues in procurement, regulation and legal teams, reaching out to senior stakeholders for assistance when it is needed.
