Freelance Senior Quantity Surveyor

New Yesterday

The business
This is a contractor that consistently features among the most active in the UK market -a business with a strong civils and infrastructure pedigree, a healthy forward order book, and a reputation for delivering complex, high-value schemes. They're well-regarded in the industry, retain good people, and have a pipeline that gives freelancers a genuine route to extended and repeat engagements.
The role
You'll be taking commercial ownership of a sizeable civils package - primarily earthworks with associated drainage and surfacing works. It's a standalone, site-based position reporting into a visiting Managing QS, so you'll need to be comfortable managing the day-to-day commercial output independently.
What's involved
* Full commercial management of the civils package from current stage through to completion
* Subcontractor procurement, management, and account finalisation
* CVIs, early warnings, and compensation events under NEC
* Cost reporting and forecasting
* Keeping the Managing QS fully sighted without needing to be chased
What they're looking for
* A civils QS background - earthworks, drainage, or highways experience preferred
* Solid NEC contract experience (NEC3 or NEC4)
* Someone who can operate autonomously on site without day-to-day oversight
* Available in the near term and able to commit through to December, with a strong possibility of extension beyond that
The detail
* Outside IR35
* Based on site in Coventry
* Contract to December, with extension likely subject to both parties
