Location: Clitheroe, Lancashire
Salary/Package: -55,000 - -65,000 + Package
Job Type: Permanent

About the Company
Our client is a technically led engineering contractor delivering turnkey design and build solutions across the water, wastewater and wider infrastructure sectors.

Established in 2001, the business has grown into an international contractor working across the UK, Ireland and North America. It is recognised for engineering excellence, innovation, and a strong commitment to safety and sustainable construction.

Their capabilities include process engineering, civil engineering, MEICA, microtunnelling, caissons and shafts, and operation and maintenance services. Together these let them deliver complex water infrastructure projects from concept to completion.

The business has secured a major AMP8 programme in the North West, delivering river water quality improvement schemes for a leading water company, with project values from around -4m to -30m.

To support this growth, they are looking to appoint a Project Quantity Surveyor to manage the commercial delivery of schemes in the Ribble Valley.

The Role
This is an excellent opportunity for a Project Quantity Surveyor to manage the commercial side of AMP8 water infrastructure projects around Clitheroe and the Ribble Valley.

These schemes are either under construction or in the Early Contractor Involvement (ECI) phase. You will contribute to target cost development and planning, then manage the commercial delivery of the works through construction, completion and final account.

This is a varied, hands-on role. You will work closely with project and site teams, designers, the client and the supply chain to make sure each scheme is delivered profitably and in full compliance with NEC4.

The role would suit a Quantity Surveyor from a contractor or subcontractor background who has managed individual or multiple projects, ideally in water, civil engineering or infrastructure.
