About the Role
Mace combines construction expertise with consultancy to unlock potential in every person or project and redefine the boundaries of ambition. Our values shape the way we consult and define the people we want to join us on our journey. The Quantity Surveyor (QS) will specialise in the Pre-Contract space on a major infrastructure programme. This role will support the implementation of the commercial and contractual strategy during the procurement phase for works and services. The QS is required to possess an understanding of the New Engineering Contract (NEC4) suite, framework agreements, and bespoke contractual arrangements. This role supports the Senior Quantity Surveyor (SQS) in the development of contracts in line with the strategy, containing robust commercial terms, optimal risk and reward allocation, incorporating proactive and collaborative requirements, and enabling performance management to ensure success in post-contract administration.

Key responsibilities include drafting, negotiating, and executing contracts under the NEC4 suite (including ECC, PSC, and short forms), and managing the full pre-award cycle such as tender strategy, documentation, bidder engagement, evaluation, and negotiation. The role requires working across complex matrix teams and fostering an aligned culture focused on high performance.

Mace champions a safe, diverse, and inclusive working environment, prioritising wellbeing in every team. We are committed to delivering on our promises to clients, acting with integrity, and creating opportunities for our people to excel. We welcome applications from a diverse range of candidates and are open to discussing part-time, flexible, and hybrid working options where suitable.
