Are you a commercially driven Quantity Surveyor looking to make a real impact on large‑scale infrastructure projects?

UK Power Networks Services is expanding and we're looking for an experienced Quantity Surveyor to join our Commercial team, supporting long‑term, high‑value contracts that keep critical electrical infrastructure running for major UK clients.

The Opportunity

Based from our Heathrow office with some travel to national sites, you'll play a key role in managing the commercial performance of contracts worth circa £30m per year. Working closely with Client Delivery teams, Project Managers, Engineers, suppliers and subcontractors, you'll ensure contracts are commercially robust, compliant, and profitable.

You'll have the autonomy to influence outcomes, resolve complex commercial challenges, and support growth across the UKPN Services portfolio - all within a supportive, forward‑thinking environment.

What You'll Be Doing
  • Managing valuations, payment applications, budgets and cash flow
  • Leading contract and change management under NEC contracts
  • Supporting pricing, scope changes, dispute resolution and final accounts
  • Advising on subcontract agreements and commercial risk
  • Identifying growth opportunities and supporting future projects
  • Producing commercial reports and supporting senior stakeholders
✅ What We're Looking For
  • Degree‑qualified (or equivalent) in Quantity Surveying or a related discipline
  • Strong experience managing varied contracts in a client‑led construction environment
  • Working knowledge of NEC contracts
  • Commercially astute, analytical and confident operating with autonomy
  • Experience with SAP and strong Microsoft Office skills
  • Professional membership (RICS, CIOB, ICES or similar) is advantageous
  • Electricity network experience is a bonus, but not essential
What's In It for You
  • Hybrid working: 3 days office / 2 days remote (post‑probation)
  • 25 days annual leave plus bank holidays
  • Competitive pension (up to 10% employer contribution)
  • Bonus scheme
  • Season ticket & tenancy loan schemes
  • Cycle to Work, Green Car Leasing & tech benefits
  • Discounted gym membership & retail discounts
  • Employee Assistance Programme & Occupational Health support

If you're ready to take ownership of major contracts, influence commercial strategy, and grow your career with a leading UK infrastructure business, we want to hear from you.

Apply now and be part of powering the UK's future.
