Involve Recruitment

We’re looking for an ambitious and commercially driven Project Quantity Surveyor to join a growing commercial team delivering some of the most exciting rail and civil engineering projects across Wales. This is an opportunity to take a leading commercial role on projects that genuinely make a difference — from rail infrastructure and stations to bridges, structures, highways, tunnels and environmental schemes. Working across a diverse portfolio for major infrastructure clients, including Network Rail and Transport for Wales, you’ll have the opportunity to build your experience, take ownership of projects and progress your career within a supportive and forward-thinking environment.

The Role:

You’ll take responsibility for the commercial management of multiple projects and work packages, typically ranging from £500k to £5m.

Working closely with Project Managers, Site Managers, clients and supply chain partners, you’ll help drive projects from procurement through to final account — ensuring they are commercially successful, contractually compliant and delivered to the highest standards.

What You’ll Be Doing:

  • Lead the commercial management of multiple rail and civil engineering projects
  • Manage valuations, applications for payment, forecasts and final accounts
  • Prepare and monitor CVRs, cost reports and project forecasts
  • Manage subcontract procurement, payments and contractual compliance
  • Identify and manage change, compensation events, early warnings and commercial risk
  • Administer NEC and Network Rail forms of contract
  • Work closely with operational teams to monitor cost, progress and performance
  • Build strong relationships with clients, subcontractors and key stakeholders
  • Lead commercial discussions and negotiate effectively
  • Provide commercial insight and challenge throughout the project lifecycle
  • Contribute to improving commercial processes, systems and best practice

What We’re Looking For:

You’ll be an experienced Quantity Surveyor / Project Quantity Surveyor with a background in rail, civil engineering or infrastructure.

We’re particularly interested in people who have:

  • Experience managing the commercial aspects of civil engineering projects
  • A strong understanding of NEC contracts
  • Experience working on rail, structures, highways or infrastructure projects
  • Excellent commercial and contractual awareness
  • Strong negotiation and communication skills
  • The ability to manage multiple projects and competing priorities
  • A proactive, collaborative approach
  • A relevant degree, HNC/HND or equivalent qualification
