Senior quantity surveyor associates

As an independent construction consultancy currently involved in several renewable energy projects, our client is committed to reducing carbon year-on-year. Although press coverage hints that government policy may change from its support for onshore wind, if the UK target is to be achieved, onshore wind will be part of the mix. We expect continuing requests for onshore wind projects. The planning process is a complex one, with site assessment, cabling routes and grid connections all playing a major part. The larger numbers of turbines that can be placed offshore, compared to onshore sites, mean that in spite of the installation costs they remain economically viable for the developer. Most offshore projects achieve the Nationally Significant Infrastructure Project tag and compulsory purchase rights are requested and granted as part of the consent to enable the onshore cable routes. We are currently seeking driven Quantity Surveyors / Associates, from an oil refinery or windfarm background to be a part of these exciting projects.
