About this role

Our Energy business helps customers transition to clean energy, while providing practical solutions to improve the efficiency, sustainability, and resilience of existing infrastructure. We focus on delivering engineering, construction, and digital solutions to support the UK’s transition to a low-carbon economy.
As part of our drive for sustainable growth, we have an exciting opportunity for experienced Project Quantity Surveyors to join our team.
