Quantity Surveyor – Battery Energy Storage (BESS)

The UK is racing to decarbonise its energy grid, and Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS) are at the forefront of that transition.
We’re looking for a client-side Quantity Surveyor with the expertise to help shape some of the country’s most significant energy storage projects.

Who we’re looking for

• Quantity Surveyor with strong client-side or consultancy experience.
• Background in power networks / HVDC / energy infrastructure highly desirable.
• Hands-on experience with procurement, estimating and database-driven benchmarking.
• MRICS status preferred – but deep sector knowledge is just as valuable.
• Confident communicator, able to challenge and advise at a senior level.

What you’ll be doing

• Leading cost planning, benchmarking and estimating for major battery storage projects.
• Supporting procurement and tendering – from strategy to contract award.
• Delivering robust commercial advice across both pre-contract and live project delivery.
• Working closely with engineers, project managers and client leadership to drive value.
• Leveraging data and cost intelligence to bring clarity to a rapidly evolving sector.

Why apply?

• Salary up to £100,000 + benefits.
• Hybrid working – balance of London office presence and home flexibility.
• Chance to be part of a fast-growing energy sector with genuine long-term opportunity.
• Influence projects that are central to the UK’s energy transition.
