Senior Quantity Surveyor – Rail
Manchester (Hybrid – 3 days in the office)
Up to £72,000 + Car Allowance + Strong Pension Contribution
If you’re a Quantity Surveyor who likes taking ownership of the full commercial process rather than being stuck handling one small part of a big project, this one’s worth a look.
I’m working with a Tier 1 rail contractor that’s after someone to manage a portfolio of projects across the North West, worth around £10m in total. Rather than being boxed into one area, you’ll take responsibility from start to finish — procurement, cost management, change control, CVRs, the lot.
It’s a role that’ll suit someone who likes variety, accountability, and a bit of trust to just get on and do a good job.
What’s in it for you
• A genuinely varied portfolio of projects rather than one long-term job where you’re doing the same thing day in, day out
• Hybrid working with a base in central Manchester (three days a week)
• A strong pipeline of work across the North West
• Up to £72,000 basic salary plus car allowance
• Excellent pension contribution
• Structured professional development and support towards chartership or further upskilling if that’s something you want to pursue
• A culture built on trust, not micromanagement
What they’re looking for
You don’t need a degree for this one. What matters is your experience and attitude.
If you’re proactive, commercially sharp, and used to running several live schemes at once, you’ll fit in well.
They’re open to people from rail, construction, or general infrastructure backgrounds and are happy to look at strong QSs who feel ready to make that step up into a senior role.
Start: Early to mid-December (ideal if you’re on a four-week notice)
Location: Central Manchester (hybrid)
If it sounds like something that could be right for you, drop me a message or apply and I’ll give you a call to talk it through properly.
