Job description
Quantity Surveyor
Cambridge
£55,000-£70,000 DOE + Enhanced pension (company match up to 7%), life insurance, up to 24 days' holiday + Bank Holiday + Bonus
Are you an experienced Quantity Surveyor with 10+ years' experience in construction, looking to step into the renewable energy sector?
Do you want to play a pivotal role in contract management, dispute resolution, and commercial delivery for large-scale renewable projects?
My client is a rapidly expanding renewable energy contractor specialising in large-scale commercial heat pumps and ground-mounted solar projects. Established with a reputation for delivering quality, they are experiencing significant growth and now require a commercially driven Quantity Surveyor to strengthen their project team. With long-term progression opportunities, structured training, and a culture that rewards ambition, this is an excellent time to join.
This is a replacement hire due to expansion. The Quantity Surveyor will take full responsibility for the commercial cycle of projects, including dispute resolution, managing the payment cycle, negotiating and administering contracts, and overseeing the procurement of contractors and estimators. The role is primarily office-based, with site visits required as necessary. Once probation is complete, hybrid working is available.
The ideal candidate will have 10-15 years' experience as a Quantity Surveyor within construction, ideally with exposure to renewables or M&E sectors. A background with Tier 1 contractors such as Morgan Sindall or Kier is highly desirable. My client is seeking someone with strong negotiation skills, resilience, and a proven track record of managing contracts, disputes, and procurement effectively. Heat pump or renewable sector experience is a bonus, but not essential.
The Role
- Manage the full commercial cycle across multiple renewable energy projects
- Handle dispute resolution, payment cycles, and contractual negotiations
- Oversee procurement of subcontractors, contractors, and estimators
- Ensure cost control and reporting in line with company and client requirements
- Work closely with project managers and senior leadership to deliver projects profitably
The Person:
- 10-15 years' experience as a Quantity Surveyor in construction
- Strong background in dispute resolution, procurement, and contract negotiation
- Experience with Tier 1 contractors (e.g. Morgan Sindall, Kier) highly valued
- Ideally from a mechanical or renewables background, heat pump experience a plus
- Commercially astute, assertive, and motivated by progression in a growing business
