A Rare Growth Phase. Backed by Leadership That Gets It.

One of the UK’s most respected utilities providers is entering a significant phase of expansion — and they’re building out their Quantity Surveying team to match. With frameworks ramping up across energy, water, and infrastructure, the business is preparing for increased commercial demands and a higher bar for delivery.

We’re working directly with the Commercial Lead — a calm, principled leader who’s carved out a reputation for running high-performing teams with zero politics. His people rate him highly, and retention reflects that. This is someone you’ll want to work with, and more importantly, someone who’ll back you to grow.

The Work You’ll Step Into

You’ll join a commercial team that operates across live utility frameworks, covering:

• NEC3/4 contracts
• Cost forecasting and budget reporting
• Subcontractor packages and performance reviews
• Strategic input into delivery planning and financial governance

The work is structured, supported, and growing. There’s a clear need to strengthen the team across all levels — so whether you’re earlier in your QS journey or already managing commercial functions independently, there’s a defined path forward.

Why People Join (and Stay)

• The leadership is human. You’re not stepping into a machine — you’re stepping into a team where clarity, respect and performance are non-negotiable.
• The benefits are serious. Car allowance, annual bonus, and one of the best pension schemes in the sector.
• The runway is long. This isn’t stop-start project work. This is the kind of role you build a reputation from.

You’ll Fit Best If You…

• Have worked on infrastructure, utilities, or civils projects (but open to those from rail or highways too)
• Want a step up in structure, leadership, and financial ownership
• Appreciate working with people who care more about delivery than noise
• Value a workplace that’s calm, capable, and doesn’t reward politics

Let’s Talk

If you’re open to a move but don’t want a high-pressure sales call, let’s have a simple conversation. We’ll walk you through the setup, the culture, and where this could take you before we go any further.

Built on Reputation. Ready for the Next Chapter.

This is a commercial leadership role designed with a longer-term view in mind.

You’ll step into a well-respected, mid-sized contractor that’s known for delivering schools, healthcare facilities, and civic buildings across the Midlands. The current Commercial Director is thinking ahead — and this hire is about more than plugging a gap. It’s about succession

That means you’ll be given the time, visibility, and autonomy to step into influence — not just delivery. The pipeline is steady, the culture is lean and collaborative, and the trust you’ll be given is real.

The Work You’ll Step Into

• Commercial oversight across a £30m+ annual project portfolio (typical schemes £3–10m)
• Mentoring and developing QSs within the team
• Leading on contract negotiation, claims strategy, and client-facing commercial conversations
• Helping shape the long-term commercial systems and culture as part of succession planning

You’ll have the backing of directors who still stay close to the projects — but are smart enough to give you space. There’s no ivory tower here — just a serious opportunity to shape something lasting.

Why People Stay

• You’re not just a number. You’ll work with people who’ve built careers here and still enjoy coming in every day.
• The leadership is intentional. They’re not growing recklessly — they’re building sustainably.
• You’ll have a clear path. The succession plan is real. This isn’t a hollow title or a role parked in a corner.

You’ll Fit Best If You…

• Are already operating as a Senior QS or Commercial Manager in the building sector
• Know how to lead, but are still willing to get stuck into the detail when needed
• Want more influence — but don’t want the politics of a top-heavy corporate
• Care about doing things properly and leaving things better than you found them
