If you're a seasoned Senior Quantity Surveyor with a passion for commercial leadership and a desire to contribute to impactful initiatives, this permanent, full-time opportunity presents a compelling next step in your career.

Key Advantages for Aspiring Candidates:

  • Impactful Projects: Take the lead on significant infrastructure projects within SSE's ICP/Private Networks business, with contract values ranging from £5 million to £80 million. This role offers the chance to manage a substantial portfolio and directly influence the commercial success of critical energy developments.
  • Competitive Remuneration and Benefits: The advertised salary of £50,100 - £75,100 is complemented by a car or car allowance, a performance-related bonus, and a comprehensive benefits package. This includes support for your finances, wellbeing (such as a free online GP and 24/7 counselling), and family (generous maternity/adoption pay and paternity leave).
  • Career Development and Leadership: This is a senior role offering the opportunity to provide leadership and direction on commercial matters. You'll build strong relationships across various internal departments, including Project Management, Legal, Procurement, and Finance, fostering a collaborative and strategic approach to commercial functions.
  • Flexible Working Options: SSE embraces a "Flexible First" approach, offering options that can support your work-life balance and personal commitments.

Key Considerations for Your Career Path:

  • Demonstrated Experience is Crucial: The role demands proven experience as a Senior Quantity Surveyor on large projects (£5m+), with a strong preference for those who have delivered significant power projects within the UK.
  • Contractual Expertise: A deep understanding and practical application of standard form contracts such as NEC, JCT, and FIDIC are essential. This includes experience in contract negotiation and managing downstream contracts.
  • Financial Acumen and Risk Management: You will be responsible for rigorous financial control, cost monitoring, and ensuring profitability across projects. A thorough understanding of dispute resolution processes and experience in managing project disputes are also vital.
  • Strategic Collaboration: Success in this role hinges on your ability to build and maintain strong working relationships with a diverse range of internal stakeholders. Effective communication and influencing skills will be key.
  • Commitment to Net Zero: As SSE is driven by a bold ambition to be a leading energy company in a net-zero world, candidates with an alignment to this mission will find the work particularly rewarding.

This Senior Quantity Surveyor position offers a challenging yet incredibly rewarding career opportunity within a forward-thinking organisation.
