## Description

LOCKROSE is seeking an experienced **Senior Quantity Surveyor** to support the delivery of major infrastructure programmes within the energy sector.

-   Assess and manage **Compensation Events**, including evaluation of entitlement, programme impact, and commercial consequences
-   Challenge contractor submissions including **variations, applications for payment, and programme updates**
-   Review and interpret project programmes, working closely with planning teams to assess **delay, risk, and commercial impact**

-   Support the management of **Early Warning processes**, ensuring risks are captured, mitigated, and reflected in commercial strategy
-   Provide clear, data-driven **commercial insights and reporting** to project and programme stakeholders
-   Work collaboratively with project management, engineering, and planning teams to support **effective decision-making**
-   Ensure robust **cost control, forecasting, and financial governance** across assigned projects
-   Contribute to the development of **commercial best practice, standardisation, and continuous improvement**

## Requirements

-   Experience working within a **regulated or highly governed environment (e.g. utilities, rail, water, energy)**
-   Excellent stakeholder management skills across **technical and commercial teams**
-   Comfortable working across **multiple projects simultaneously**

**Essential:**
