Senior Quantity Surveyor – Global Engineering Projects (EMEA)
Stamford area | Office based with international travel (approx. 70% office / 30% travel)
Salary up to £80,000 + bonus + exceptional benefits
Permanent
The Opportunity
We are recruiting on behalf of a globally established engineering organisation that delivers complex industrial construction and infrastructure projects worldwide.
Due to continued growth, the business is building a new Construction function within their Global Field Services division and is now seeking an experienced Quantity Surveyor to play a key role in shaping this team from the ground up.
This is not a replacement role. It is a newly created position offering the chance to influence commercial processes, support project planning, and help drive financial performance across major engineering projects throughout the EMEA region.
If you want a commercially influential role with genuine global project exposure, this opportunity offers something rarely available in the UK market.
The Role
You will take ownership of the commercial and financial management of construction projects from early planning stages through to completion, ensuring strong cost control, contract management and margin protection.
Alongside traditional Quantity Surveying duties, you will also be involved in project planning and early-stage commercial input, working closely with engineering, project delivery and senior management teams internationally.
The position is primarily office based (around 70%) with travel across EMEA project locations when required.

Commercial Management
Prepare detailed cost estimates and project budgets
Monitor financial performance and forecast project costs
Identify commercial risks and implement mitigation strategies
Tendering & Procurement
Prepare tender packages and evaluate contractor submissions
Support contract negotiations and supplier selection
Contract & Change Management
Manage contracts, variations, claims and change orders
Ensure all scope changes are commercially justified and recorded
Project Planning Support
Contribute commercial insight during planning and project setup stages
Work closely with engineering and delivery teams to ensure cost-effective execution
Site & Stakeholder Collaboration
Visit project sites across EMEA to verify progress and support valuations
Liaise with subcontractors, suppliers and international stakeholders

Excellent stakeholder communication and commercial judgement
Strong Excel and commercial reporting capability
Full UK driving licence and willingness to travel internationally
A degree in Quantity Surveying, Civil Engineering, Construction Management or similar is advantageous.
Salary & Benefits
