Murphy is recruiting a Managing Quantity Surveyor to join our growing Water business and play a key role on a newly awarded major infrastructure project in Oxford.

This is an opportunity to join one of the UK's leading infrastructure contractors at the early stages of a landmark scheme that will deliver critical improvements to the region's water infrastructure. The project will involve significant civil engineering works, multiple stakeholder interfaces, and the management of a substantial supply chain, making it one of the most exciting commercial opportunities within the sector.

We are looking for an experienced commercial professional with a proven track record of successfully delivering large-scale infrastructure or civil engineering projects. While experience within water or MEICA projects would be advantageous, it is not essential. More importantly, candidates must have experience managing the commercial function on major projects and be comfortable operating within NEC forms of contract.

What We're Looking For

Required

• Degree qualified in Quantity Surveying or a related discipline.
• Significant experience delivering major infrastructure or civil engineering projects.
• Proven experience managing commercial activities on large projects (£50m+).
• Strong knowledge and practical experience of NEC contracts.
• Experience in cost reporting, forecasting, risk management and change control.
• Strong negotiation, leadership and stakeholder management skills.
• Full UK driving licence.

Desirable

• Chartered status (MRICS) or working towards chartership.
• Experience within the water sector.
• Experience working for a principal contractor on complex infrastructure schemes.

Please note: Specific MEICA experience is not essential. We welcome applications from candidates who have delivered major projects across civil engineering, utilities, transportation, energy or other infrastructure sectors.
