Job description

Quantity Surveyor – NEC Change & Commercial (Contractor-Facing Role)

Location: Central London (2–3 Days Onsite) | Hybrid Working

Salary: £50,000 – £75,000 + Benefits + All Travel Paid

Type: Permanent (Freelance Considered)

Work with a Specialist Consultancy Delivering for Tier 1 Contractors

We’re working with a small but fast-growing and highly respected consultancy that partners closely with Tier 1 contractors on major UK infrastructure projects. They’re now looking to bring on board an experienced Quantity Surveyor who understands the demands of working in contractor-side environments and can add immediate value to commercial and change processes.

You’ll be part of a tight-knit consultancy team, but work day-to-day within contractor delivery teams—so you’ll need to be confident, proactive, and commercially sharp.

What You'll Be Doing

You’ll support high-value programmes by leading key commercial activities and managing NEC change processes in fast-paced project environments.

Your responsibilities will include:

• Assessing and managing NEC3/NEC4 compensation events, early warnings, and risk provisions
• Working with planning teams (Primavera P6) to evaluate programme impacts and delays
• Supporting subcontractor engagements and validating change/entitlement
• Managing cost forecasts, change registers, and cash flow reporting
• Contributing to commercial strategy, dispute avoidance, and resolution support

What We're Looking For

The ideal candidate will be experienced in contractor-side commercial delivery, even if currently in a consultancy role.

Essential skills and experience:

• Good working knowledge of NEC contracts
• Previous work on major infrastructure, rail, or civil engineering projects
• Background working directly for contractors, or consultancies supporting contractors
• Understanding of planning tools and outputs (e.g., Primavera P6 schedules)
• Strong communication skills and the ability to work confidently in live delivery environments

What’s On Offer

• £50,000 – £70,000 basic salary (depending on experience)
• Travel to and from the office fully paid + expenses for client travel
• Private medical insurance
• Professional development budget + 1:1 mentoring
• Hybrid working: 2–3 days onsite in Central London; remainder remote
• Permanent or freelance options available depending on your preference
• Opportunity to work on high-impact UK infrastructure projects

Why This Role?

This is a great opportunity to:

• Join a small, hands-on consultancy where you’re more than just a number
• Be embedded within Tier 1 contractor teams working on high-value infrastructure programmes
• Gain exposure to complex change environments and sharpen your NEC expertise
• Work in a flexible, hybrid setup with travel costs fully covered
