The role
VolkerFitzpatrick offers a range and depth of civil engineering, infrastructure and building services. We contribute to vital parts of the nation's life through projects of strategic importance, while delivering those less visible, yet essential, works required by both private and public sectors. We build, renew, maintain highways, airports, railway infrastructure, and commercial, industrial and educational buildings.
We have an exciting opportunity for a Senior Quantity Surveyor to join our Buildings Portfolio team as part of the Southern Renewals Enterprise (SRE). The SRE is delivering a diverse portfolio of rail infrastructure improvements that enhance passenger experience, accessibility and operational performance across Network Rail's Southern Route.
As the Senior Quantity Surveyor you will play a key role in supporting the commercial delivery of a varied programme of station and infrastructure projects. This portfolio includes station enhancements, Access for All schemes, M&E projects, accommodation buildings, and associated rail infrastructure works.
This is an excellent opportunity for an experienced commercial professional who enjoys working across a diverse project portfolio and wants to play a key role in delivering improvements to the railway.
The role can be based from our offices in Blackfriars, Gravesend or Basingstoke, with travel across the Southern Route project portfolio as required.
