If you're looking for a QS job where you mostly update spreadsheets and wait to be told what to do, this won't be the one.
If you want to develop into a proper commercial professional — someone who understands contracts, values variations correctly, negotiates confidently, and helps keep a complex data centre project financially on track — then keep reading.
We're hiring a Junior Quantity Surveyor who's hungry to learn, good with detail, and willing to get stuck into the real commercial work that makes a project successful (or saves it when it's not going well).
This isn't a spectator sport. You'll be in the middle of the action.
What you'll actually do
Not the "rotational graduate" version — the real job:
Work closely with the Planning Engineer to track progress and identify variations before they disappear into the ether
Support the preparation and follow‐up of claims — and learn how to negotiate them
Make sure payment certificates are issued on time (a surprisingly big deal)
Report to the Project Manager on the commercial position of the project
Keep accurate records of certificates, claims and retentions
Follow up on retentions so money doesn't sit in limbo forever
Meet with clients or their representatives when needed
Understand the contract — because the contract is the bible in commercial management
Ensure claims are structured properly and nothing gets missed (day works, unit rates, contract work, escalations, all of it)
Work closely with the Senior QS to understand how decisions actually affect project margin
In short: you'll learn how a data centre project is commercially run — end to end.
Who you'll work with
You'll report to the Commercial Manager / Senior QS, and collaborate with:
Planning
Project Management
Engineering
Supply chain
Clients
These are the people who will teach you fast — because data centre projects move fast.
What you'll need
A degree in Quantity Surveying or a related discipline
An interest in becoming a strong technical and commercial professional
A willingness to learn and take responsibility
Good communication, numeracy and organisational skills
Attention to detail (the boring stuff is often the expensive stuff)
Who this suits
Actually wants to understand how the commercial side of a major project works
Likes solving problems with numbers, contracts and logic
Wants a clear path to becoming a Senior QS
Doesn't mind getting involved early, asking questions and making things happen
Appreciates the scale, pace and complexity of a data centre build
Why this role matters
Data centres have tight programmes, high expectations, and almost no room for error. xivgfpx
A strong commercial team is the difference between a profitable project... and a painful one.
You'll learn how to protect margin, manage risk and deliver value — properly.
