Our client doesn't just build services - they build smart, adaptable, and commercially sound environments.
They deliver technically-driven mechanical and electrical solutions with a reputation for flexibility, problem-solving, and results.
They are now seeking a Quantity Surveyor with a strong focus on contract negotiation, risk management, and dispute resolution - someone who thrives on shaping commercial outcomes and safeguarding project viability.
About the Role
This is a strategic commercial role, ideal for a QS who wants to focus on contracts over counts. You'll take the lead on contractual matters from pre-construction through to final account - advising, negotiating, and resolving as needed.
Key Responsibilities:
Negotiate main and subcontract agreements, ensuring commercially favourable and risk-mitigated terms.
Lead the handling of disputes and claims, managing the preparation of documentation and representing the business in resolution discussions.
Identify, assess, and mitigate contractual risks early in the project lifecycle.
Provide guidance on payment issues, variations, delay claims, and final accounts.
Work closely with directors, project teams, and external parties to maintain clear commercial control throughout delivery.
Navigate and apply JCT, NEC, and bespoke contract forms confidently and effectively.
What You'll Need
Experience working with a contractor - ideally in building services or design & build environments.
Demonstrated expertise in contract negotiation and dispute resolution within the construction sector.
Strong working knowledge of JCT and NEC contracts.
Excellent communication and negotiation skills, with the ability to manage sensitive commercial issues.
A proactive, detail-driven approach and the confidence to advise at both project and senior management level.
Why This Role?
Our client operates in fast-paced, high-spec environments where getting the commercial structure right is as important as getting the install right. If you're a commercially astute QS who prefers a strategic, contract-first focus - this is your kind of role.
