We’re working with a specialist civil engineering contractor delivering long-term infrastructure works within the Southern Water framework. They’re looking to bring in a Graduate or Apprentice-level Quantity Surveyor who is keen to learn, develop, and build a long-term career in the water sector.

This is a genuine opportunity to work closely with an experienced Head of Commercial, gaining hands-on exposure to projects and commercial management from day one.

The Role:

• Supporting the commercial team across a range of water infrastructure projects
• Assisting with cost reporting, valuations, and variations
• Working with NEC forms of contract
• Learning the full commercial lifecycle of civils projects
• Building strong relationships with site and operational teams
• Hybrid working, with flexibility based on output and trust

What They’re Looking For:

• Degree / HNC / HND in Quantity Surveying or similar (or currently working towards)
• Strong work ethic and willingness to learn
• Interest in civil engineering / infrastructure (water experience beneficial but not essential)
• Basic understanding of NEC contracts (or eagerness to learn)
• Good communication skills and attention to detail

Why This Role?

• Direct mentorship from an experienced Head of Commercial
• Clear progression pathway within a growing contractor
• Exposure to major water infrastructure works
• Flexible, adult working environment focused on output rather than micromanagement

If you’re looking for a role where you’ll actually learn, be supported, and develop into a fully-fledged Quantity Surveyor – contact Andy Cook on [email protected] or apply directly to this advert.
