Reading Permanent
Up to 95k (SQS) / Up to 108k (CM) + Benefits
Security Clearance: SC Clearance required (or eligibility to obtain)

Our client, a leading main contractor, is looking for a Senior Quantity Surveyor - or a Commercial Manager for the right candidate - to join their team on a commercial build project for the Ministry of Defence.

You'll take ownership of commercial management on a high-profile MOD project, working closely with the operational team to protect and maximise contractual entitlements. Depending on experience, this role could suit someone ready to step up into a Commercial Manager position.

  • Ensure compliance with legal, contractual, and company processes, including MOD-specific security and site protocols
  • Understand contract terms and manage commercial risks and opportunities
  • Maintain accurate records to support contractual entitlements
  • Prepare and submit applications, securing payment and variations
  • Manage subcontract accounts through to final account
  • Monitor progress and provide accurate commercial reporting
  • Support negotiation and settlement of the final account with the client
  • For CM-level candidates: broader oversight of the commercial team and project commercial strategy

What We're Looking For

  • Proven experience as a Quantity Surveyor within commercial/construction build environments
  • Experience working on MOD or other secure/government projects is highly advantageous
  • Must hold, or be eligible to obtain, SC Clearance
  • Degree/HNC level qualification and/or significant relevant experience
  • Experience managing change and subcontract accounts
  • Good working knowledge of standard forms of contract (e.g. JCT/NEC)
  • Candidates with Commercial Manager-level experience are encouraged to apply and will be considered for a higher package

Salary & Benefits

  • Up to 95,000 basic salary (SQS) / Up to 108,000 (Commercial Manager)
  • 300 per month car allowance (non-car, fixed)
  • Travel allowance (details available from the hiring manager)
  • Project bonus scheme (details available from the hiring manager)
  • 25 days holiday plus bank holidays
  • Pension with up to 8% employer contribution
  • Private healthcare
  • 24/7 employee assistance programme
  • Flexible benefits and discounts
  • Personal development programme

To apply, please submit your CV or feel free to reach out for a confidential conversation. Send an email to (url removed) , give me a call on (phone number removed) or WhatsApp me on +(phone number removed).
