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
