Join Balvac – Keeping the UK’s Critical Infrastructure Strong
Balvac is one of Balfour Beatty’s most specialist and technically skilled businesses – dedicated to structural concrete repair, strengthening, protection and refurbishment of vital civil infrastructure across the UK. From bridges and tunnels to power assets, ports, highways and energy structures, Balvac plays a crucial role in extending the life of the UK’s most important assets.
With 10–20 live projects at any one time, ranging from a few thousand pounds to multi-million-pound schemes, Balvac delivers complex works across transport, energy, highways and public infrastructure for major clients such as National Highways, Local Authorities, EDF, NRS and Tier 1 contractors.
This is a fantastic opportunity to join a niche, high-performing team where every project is different, and your work truly makes an impact.
As a Quantity Surveyor with Balvac, you will support both pre- and post-contract activities across multiple live projects. You’ll be central to ensuring commercial excellence, strong financial governance and the successful delivery of schemes across the region.
