Full job description

Description


Location: Greenwich | Contract Type: Permanent | Working Pattern: Full-Time | Office Based | Regular Travel

Pay / Benefits: Remuneration for this role is benchmarked competitively within our sector.
Join OCU and play a key role in the commercial delivery of a major electrical infrastructure framework supporting critical works across the power network. As a Quantity Surveyor, you'll take ownership of commercial activities across a diverse portfolio of projects, working closely with operational teams, clients, and supply chain partners to ensure successful project delivery and strong commercial performance.

This is an opportunity to join a dedicated team where you'll have genuine autonomy and responsibility, managing a varied workload across framework projects while developing long-term relationships with key stakeholders. If you enjoy working in a fast-paced environment where no two projects are the same, this could be the role for you.

What You'll Do


  • Manage the commercial aspects of utility and electrical infrastructure projects across the framework.
  • Prepare and return accurate quotations within agreed timescales.
  • Audit subcontractor applications and claims, ensuring accuracy and contractual compliance.
  • Build and maintain positive working relationships with clients, subcontractors, and operational teams.
  • Manage contract variations, claims, and dispute resolution activities.
  • Prepare applications for payment, invoices, and supporting commercial submissions.
  • Monitor project costs and commercial performance, identifying risks and opportunities.
  • Support operational teams with pricing, commercial advice, and contract administration throughout project delivery.

What You'll Bring


  • Experience as a Quantity Surveyor within utilities, infrastructure, power, civil engineering, or construction environments.
  • Strong working knowledge of NEC contracts and contract administration principles.
  • Experience managing variations, claims, and commercial negotiations.
  • Excellent communication and stakeholder management skills.
  • Strong commercial awareness and financial acumen.
  • Ability to negotiate effectively and influence commercial outcomes.
  • Strong organisational skills with the ability to prioritise workloads and meet deadlines.
  • Full UK driving licence.
  • Experience delivering utility infrastructure, power, or electrical network projects.
  • Bonus if you have experience working within long-term framework contracts.
  • It would be great if you hold a degree in Quantity Surveying, Commercial Management, or a related discipline.
  • It would be great if you are a member of, or working towards membership of, RICS, CIOB, or a similar professional body.
  • Experience using commercial management systems and collaborative project delivery platforms would be advantageous.
