The Role
Joining an established operation, you will work closely with the existing Shift Manager and wider team, drawing on their technical expertise while providing clear operational oversight, structure and accountability.
Your initial focus will be to understand the operation, identify key priorities and introduce practical improvements that strengthen performance, team engagement and service delivery.

- Monitoring performance against KPIs, SLAs and service standards.
- Identifying and managing operational risks, incidents and service issues.
- Maintaining a strong focus on health and safety, safeguarding and service resilience.
- Working collaboratively with technical specialists and internal stakeholders.
- Identifying and embedding practical improvements to service quality, efficiency and customer outcomes.
- The objective is to leave behind stronger management practices, improved operational effectiveness and a clear plan for longer-term improvement.
About You
We are looking for an experienced operational people leader who can establish credibility quickly, take ownership and make a positive impact in an interim environment.
You will ideally have:
- Significant experience managing people within a busy operational service environment.
- Experience leading a 24/7, shift-based, time-critical or similarly complex operation.
- A strong track record of motivating, developing and managing teams.
- Experience coaching and supporting other managers.
- Confidence handling challenging performance and employee relations matters.
- Experience managing service delivery against KPIs, SLAs or defined standards.
- Strong operational judgement and decision-making skills.
- Experience in workforce planning, resource deployment and operational improvement.
- A practical understanding of health and safety, operational risk and safeguarding.
- The ability to work effectively with specialist colleagues without needing to be the technical expert.
- Experience within contact centres, control rooms, customer service, utilities, transport, logistics, security, emergency response, public services, health and care, or other complex operational environments would be relevant.
What We're Looking For
- You will be a visible, approachable and decisive leader who is comfortable getting into the details, tackling challenges and holding people accountable.
- You will be pragmatic, solutions-focused and confident joining an established operation where improvements need to be delivered quickly and sustainably.
This opportunity would suit an experienced interim manager or an operational leader looking to make a meaningful impact, with the potential to secure a permanent position following the initial assignment.
At KHR, we take care to ensure that you are represented as well as possible, so it is worth checking your CV for layout, spelling and grammar as well as making sure it is up to date before you submit. If you feel you need to highlight particular qualifications, skills or relevant experience with regard to a specific role, then please add a cover letter or a preface page. This does not need to be formatted in the same manner. In addition, if your CV is heavy with graphics, etc, please could you also submit a "clean" copy in Word. Thank you.

You'll work closely with the operational and senior management teams, taking commercial responsibility across live projects and ensuring works are properly valued, variations are captured, costs remain controlled and projects deliver the margins expected.
The business operates across highways, surfacing and associated civil engineering works, so we're particularly interested in Quantity Surveyors who understand fast-moving, operational contracting environments rather than purely traditional building construction.
The Role
As Quantity Surveyor, you'll take responsibility for the commercial management of projects from initial handover through delivery and final account.
You'll be involved in:
Managing the commercial performance of highways and civil engineering projects.
Preparing valuations, applications for payment and cost reports.

Supporting tender handovers and reviewing project budgets.
Managing contractual correspondence and maintaining appropriate commercial records.
Negotiating and agreeing final accounts.
Providing clear commercial information to senior management throughout project delivery.
What We're Looking For
We're interested in speaking with Quantity Surveyors from backgrounds including:
Highways | Surfacing | Road Construction | Civil Engineering | Infrastructure | Groundworks | Utilities | S278 Works | Public Realm | Term Maintenance
You'll ideally bring:
Previous Quantity Surveying experience within civil engineering or infrastructure.
Strong commercial awareness and understanding of project profitability.
Experience managing valuations, variations and final accounts.
Knowledge of subcontractor procurement and commercial management.
Experience working with NEC contracts would be particularly valuable.
Confidence working directly with operational teams and clients.
Strong negotiation and communication skills.
The ability to manage multiple projects and competing commercial priorities.
A practical understanding of how works are actually delivered on site.
Formal Quantity Surveying qualifications are advantageous, but relevant highways/civils commercial experience is more important than having the perfect academic background.
Why Consider This Opportunity?
This is an opportunity to join an established regional contractor where you'll have genuine visibility and influence over project performance.
Rather than becoming another number within a huge commercial department, you'll work closely with the people actually running and delivering the projects.
The role offers:
£50,000 – £70,000 salary depending on experience
Competitive benefits package
Long-term permanent opportunity
Established South East project portfolio
Significant commercial responsibility
Direct exposure to senior management
Opportunity to develop as the business continues to grow
