National Gas is securing Britain’s energy. We transport gas throughout Great Britain, repair and maintain gas pipelines, and manage the meters that allow millions of homes and businesses to access the energy they need. We are the national gas network, providing secure energy to power Britain, achieve net zero, and maintain our industrial competitiveness.

About the role and what we are looking for
So you’re good with numbers. Not only that, you’re good at making other people understand numbers too. Such is the life of a quantity surveyor. 
 
You will know the difference between a VLOOKUP and a Pivot Table (I am sure there is a Ross Geller joke in there somewhere, Pivot!), you will have held a similar role before and have or be working towards a degree in Quantity Surveying and Commercial Management (or similar QS degree).
 
As a Quantity Surveyor, you will be crucial in the validation of Actual Costs, with the review of Early Warning Notices, Notices of Compensation Events, and Compensation Events. You will be given the contractor’s quotations to Cost Assure and support in the substantiation of the contractor’s applications for payment.
 
Working in National Gas give you exposure to some unique projects, from the decommissioning of our assets or new customer connections, to minor maintenance and upgrade works across the NTS. And with the transition to hydrogen and other forms of cleaner energy, who knows what else might be in the pipeline?
 
You’ll travel across in-house and client sites or one of our offices as needed, and you’ll be in charge of the decisions on where and how often you travel. Sometimes you’ll want a tighter rein, and sometimes you’ll feel comfortable managing from afar. 
 
Wherever you work from, you’ll be in a prime position to work your way up. If you’ve got your eyes on a Lead Quantity Surveyor or Commercial Manager role one day, this can be your route there. 
 
Speaking of flexibility, you’ll be working for a manager that understands there is a life outside of work. As long as your projects are on time and on budget, you’ll have the flexibility to do the things you need to do.
