Senior Quantity Surveyor (Geometra) – Data Centre Projects
Because complex builds deserve commercially switched-on people.
If you’re the kind of Quantity Surveyor who wants a quiet life, this won’t be your favourite advert.
But if you like being at the commercial centre of big, technical, high‑value projects—where your decisions actually move the dial—then you might want to keep reading.
We’re delivering major data centre work: fast-moving environments, demanding clients, and the kind of technical detail that makes lesser QSs cry into their remeasurement sheets. You’ll be joining a commercial team that values accuracy, pace and initiative. If you have those, the rest tends to fall into place.
What you’ll actually be doing
(Yes, the real job—not the brochure version.)
Running projects commercially, start to finish
You’ll take ownership from tender stage all the way through to final accounts. Budgets, BOQs, profit plans, reporting—the whole commercial lifecycle sits with you and your project team.
Managing subcontractors like a pro
Interim valuations, sub-contractor accounts, final accounts, remeasurement, dayworks, site change orders. You’ll drive clarity, fairness and accuracy—because ambiguity is expensive.
Spotting commercial risks before they become commercial disasters
If you’re good at reading the room—and the contract—you’ll fit right in. You’ll identify risks early and get them in front of Senior Management promptly.
Keeping scheduling and commercial reality aligned
You’ll work closely with Planning to make sure progress reporting is right, because inaccurate reporting creates knock‑on headaches none of us need.
Negotiating where it matters
With clients, reps, subcontractors. You won’t be thrown into the deep end without support—but you’re expected to swim confidently.
Documenting everything properly
Records, backups, evidence, numbers. If you’re not detail‑driven, this role will exhaust you. If you are, you’ll love the control it gives you.
Bringing pace AND accuracy
A rare combination—but essential here. We operate fast, and the commercial output needs to keep up.
Being a positive force on the team
Enthusiasm, ownership, work ethic—your behaviour sets the tone for those around you. We notice it, and we value it.
Protecting information security
Data centres take security seriously. So do we. You’ll follow our ISMS protocols proactively and consistently.
Who this role is ideal for Someone who:
- Knows data centre or technically complex construction environments.
- Works well without being handheld.
- Enjoys solving commercial problems rather than escalating them.
- Understands contracts inside out.
- Wants real responsibility—not just a long list of duties.
Why this job matters Data centres are high-stakes environments: demanding timelines, sensitive technical requirements and extremely tight commercial margins. A strong QS isn’t a nice-to-have; they’re a stabilising force.
If you want to be in a role where the commercial success of a major project genuinely sits in your hands, this is it.
