Managing Quantity Surveyor

VolkerFitzpatrick offers a range and depth of civil engineering, infrastructure and building services. We contribute to vital parts of the nation's life through projects of strategic importance, while delivering those less visible, yet essential, works required by both private and public sectors. We build, renew, maintain highways, airports, railway infrastructure, and commercial, industrial and educational buildings.

As part of our continued growth within the water sector, we are seeking an experienced Managing Quantity Surveyor to join our team delivering major infrastructure projects through the Anglian Water Major Projects Framework.

Anglian Water's AMP8 investment programme is valued at approximately £11bn, with billions of pounds of work being delivered through established alliances and frameworks across the East of England. This framework allocates £1.5bn of work.
This is a unique opportunity to play a leading commercial role on a programme that will transform water infrastructure across the region, whilst working within a collaborative and forward-thinking project environment.
