Quantity Surveyor

This hybrid role offers a great balance of home and office working. You’ll join your colleagues in our Northampton office at least 2 days a week.

As the UK’s largest fibre-only network, and its only proven wholesale challenger, we’re busy setting new standards for what digital infrastructure can and should be.

Designed from scratch for the internet, our network is greener, more reliable and ready for the future. The products we provide over it not only lead the market on speed, value and service, they help businesses to innovate, provide entire communities with a better foundation for their digital lives and support economic growth, locally and nationally.

What does that mean for you? The opportunity to make internet connections (and daily life) a whole lot better, for a lot of people!

Joining us as a Quantity Surveyor

Our Quantity Surveyors play a vital role in delivering digital infrastructure across the UK by building strong, collaborative relationships with our build partners and teams, ensuring a smooth process and maximum quality across every build.

You’ll receive a competitive salary of up to £47,000, a performance related bonus, and a range of benefits to support you across your financial, physical and mental wellbeing.

• Assessing and authorising submission of project variations
• Assessing, reviewing and mitigating commercial and contractual risks through implementing our policies for risk management
• Providing commercial and contractual expertise to city build teams, including producing valuation certification, issuing correspondence, claims, budget monitoring and producing contract/workstream performance data
• Building and maintaining contractual relationships with build partners

• The ability to negotiate with suppliers and partners
• Experience overseeing large capital expenditure projects
