AdvanceTRS Advance Training and Recruitment Services

Technical recruiters for the built environment

Salary: £55,000 – £65,000 (flexible for the right candidate)

Location: Dorset, with travel across the wider region (Lodging considered)

Contract: Permanent (3 days on site/office min.)

You’ll join the commercial team, working on live utilities framework contracts spanning feasibility through to construction.

Advance TRS is recruiting on behalf of a leading infrastructure contractor delivering a major electricity network framework across the South of England – a fixed-price NEC Option A framework covering feasibility, design, and construction, with around 90 live contracts ranging from £50k to £15m.

The business was recently carved out from a larger group under private equity ownership and is still shaping its processes – so you’ll have real scope to make your mark early.

What you’ll be doing:

  • You’ll handle day-to-day commercial management of NEC Option A contracts
  • You’ll manage CVRs, change, and subcontractor liaison
  • You’ll work site-facing as part of a hands-on commercial team

What you’ll bring:

  • Solid QS experience with main contractor exposure
  • NEC literacy, with confidence around CVRs and compensation events
  • A hands-on approach – used to managing supply chain directly rather than from a purely consultancy background
  • A desire to progress towards chartership

Why you’ll want to join

  • You’ll have autonomy and genuine input – the business is still shaping its processes, so you’ll be recognised quickly
  • You’ll work within an inclusive, no-blame culture
  • You’ll be actively encouraged and supported towards chartership
  • You’ll have travel and hotel costs covered if commuting isn’t practical, though local candidates are preferred

To apply, send your CV to Harry Harding at Advance TRS.
