Job description

​RTL Group are looking for a hands-on QS who enjoys running projects and wants to work for a leading civil engineering contractor.

Our client is delivering a 12-month NEC contract  in Immingham and need a Quantity Surveyor who’s comfortable owning the commercial side from start to finish. This is a proper site-facing role, not a desk-only position.

The Role

You’ll take responsibility for a live civils package, including:

  • Full commercial management of a heavy civils work package

  • Subcontract procurement, administration and payments

  • Cost reporting, forecasting and CVRs

  • Managing variations, compensation events and final accounts

  • Working closely with the site team to keep the job commercially on track

  • Reporting into senior commercial management

What We’re Looking For

  • Must have NEC contract experience 

  • 5 years experience minimum in the UK working as a QS on heavy civil engineering projects

  • Comfortable running your own package with minimal supervision

  • Strong subcontract and cost control experience

  • Practical, site-aware approach — you understand how jobs really run

  • Open to permanent or freelance engagement

What’s On Offer

  • £60,000 – £70,000 salary or competitive freelance rate

  • 12-month secured workload with potential extension

  • Well-run project and a no-nonsense team

  • Genuine autonomy and responsibility

If you want a QS role where you can get properly involved and add value on site, this is the right ole for you!
