Director Quantity Surveyor - Infrastructure

An exceptional opportunity has arisen for an experienced Director-level Quantity Surveyor to join a highly respected global consultancy during an exciting period of sustained growth across the North West.

This is a strategic leadership appointment within a business delivering some of the UK's most complex infrastructure, energy, utilities, nuclear and industrial programmes. With an established client base, a strong pipeline of secured work and continued investment across the region, you'll play a key role in shaping both project delivery and the future growth of the business.

Unlike many senior roles, you'll remain close to delivery, leading high-profile commissions while developing client relationships, mentoring teams and driving regional growth.

About the Business

This independent consultancy is recognised for delivering high-quality commercial, project management and advisory services across major capital programmes. Its reputation has been built on technical excellence, collaborative working and long-term client partnerships within highly regulated sectors.

Projects are Director-led, meaning senior leaders remain actively involved throughout the project lifecycle, providing clients with experienced commercial advice while supporting and developing the teams around them.

The portfolio spans nuclear, energy, utilities, infrastructure, process and industrial, civil engineering and major capital programmes across the UK.

The Role

As Director, you'll take ownership of major commissions while helping shape the strategic direction of the North West business.

Working alongside senior leadership, you'll develop existing client relationships, identify new opportunities, support business development and lead commercial teams delivering complex projects and programmes.

The role offers the opportunity to influence both regional growth and the wider business while remaining involved in technically challenging projects.

Key Responsibilities

• Lead major Quantity Surveying and commercial management commissions from a strategic and delivery perspective
• Build and strengthen relationships with key infrastructure, utilities, energy and nuclear clients
• Identify new opportunities, support business development and contribute to regional growth
• Lead, mentor and develop high-performing commercial teams
• Oversee commercial performance, fee management and profitability across commissions
• Provide senior commercial advice across complex NEC3 and NEC4 contracts
• Maintain strong standards of governance, risk management and project delivery
• Contribute to wider business planning and long-term strategic direction

About You

You'll be an established commercial leader with strong consultancy experience across infrastructure, energy or other major capital programmes.

Ideally, you'll bring:

• Significant Quantity Surveying and commercial management experience
• Experience operating at Associate Director or Director level
• Strong client relationship and business development capability
• A background across infrastructure, utilities, energy, nuclear, industrial or process sectors
• Excellent NEC3/NEC4 contract knowledge
• Experience leading, mentoring and developing commercial teams
• MRICS or another relevant professional qualification would be advantageous

You'll combine strong commercial awareness with a collaborative leadership style and the credibility to operate effectively with senior clients, project teams and internal stakeholders.

Why Join?

This is an opportunity to join a business where Directors genuinely influence projects, clients and the future direction of the company.

You'll benefit from:

• A genuine leadership position within a growing North West business
• Director-led involvement across nationally significant infrastructure and energy programmes
• An established client base and strong pipeline of secured work
• The opportunity to influence regional growth, client strategy and future direction
• A collaborative and entrepreneurial culture with minimal bureaucracy
• Clear longer-term progression within an expanding global consultancy

You'll also benefit from continued investment in leadership and professional development, while having the autonomy to shape your role as the regional business grows.

This is a rare opportunity for an ambitious Quantity Surveying Director to join a consultancy where you'll have real influence, work on industry-leading projects and help drive the next phase of regional growth.
