Managing Quantity Surveyor

Murphy is recruiting a Managing Quantity Surveyor to join our growing Water business and play a key role on a newly awarded major infrastructure project in Oxford.

This is an opportunity to join one of the UK's leading infrastructure contractors at the early stages of a landmark scheme that will deliver critical improvements to the region's water infrastructure.

We are looking for an experienced commercial professional with a proven track record of successfully delivering large-scale infrastructure or civil engineering projects.
