Are you looking to work for one of Scotland's largest privately owned civil engineering and building contractors? Do you want to take on a pivotal role in delivering complex civil engineering solutions, often in challenging and logistically demanding environments? If so, this could be the perfect opportunity for you.
RJ McLeod is seeking Project Quantity Surveyor(s) to join their team based in Northern Scotland. In this role, you'll support the commercial management of major infrastructure projects across the renewable energy, highways, and marine sectors.
So, what are we looking for?
This role is key to delivering exceptional commercial outcomes, so a strong understanding of commercial contracts (NEC3/4) and prior civil engineering experience are essential.
To succeed, you'll need excellent communication and analytical skills alongside:
* Degree qualified in Quantity Surveying, Commercial Management, or a related field.
* Experience in civil engineering projects, particularly in renewable energy, highways, or marine construction.
* Proven ability in measuring and valuing civil engineering works.
* Experience with delay and disruption claims, including cost analysis in managing projects over £2M.
You'll also need to be able to work at pace. Our business moves quickly, and we need to keep up with the demand. Flexibility, agility, and resilience are key attributes for this role.
Additional skills and experience that would enhance your application:
* Evidence of CPD and/or working towards MRICS/MInstCES qualification.
* Familiarity with heavy civil construction techniques.
* Knowledge of MCHW or National Grid specifications.
* An understanding of the Scottish civil engineering sector.
* Previous experience working in remote or island locations.
Please note: Due to the nature of the location, a valid UK driving licence and the ability to travel to remote sites is required.
We also encourage civil engineers with site experience who are interested in transitioning into commercial management to apply. We provide training and support to candidates who show strong potential.
If you're ready for a challenge and want to make a real impact, we'd love to hear from you!
