  • Contribute to, review, and validate monthly reporting, cost forecasting, benchmarking, audits, and commercial governance processes.
  • Ensure quality, completeness, and compliance of CEMAR actions, documentation, and meeting outputs.
  • Build strong working relationships with client representatives, project teams, and key stakeholders to ensure effective delivery in a nuclear defence environment.
  • Manage multiple concurrent NEC contracts (typically
    5–6 packages
    ) across diverse infrastructure disciplines.

Key Requirements:

  • Significant experience as a Quantity Surveyor—ideally at senior level—within
    major infrastructure
    , nuclear, defence, or other highly regulated sectors.
  • Extensive NEC and NEC4 contract experience
    is essential, with strong understanding of change management and compensation event processes.
  • Degree qualified in a relevant discipline, with
    MRICS
    (or working towards/equivalent).
  • Strong communication, leadership, negotiation, and analytical skills with the ability to challenge, influence, and guide project teams.
  • Eligibility for and ability to obtain
    Security Clearance (SC)
    .
  • British National status
    (essential for defence projects).
  • Experience with CEMAR and defence/nuclear project controls environments (desirable).
  • Client-side experience beneficial but not essential.

Why Join Us?

  • Work on high-impact projects within a leading organisation at the forefront of the nuclear defence sector.
  • Competitive salary and comprehensive benefits package.
  • Opportunities for professional development and long-term career growth.
  • A collaborative and dynamic work environment focused on innovation, safety, and excellence.
