The UK utilities sector is on the edge of a once-in-a-generation boom. AMP8 alone is unleashing £70bn of investment into water, energy, and carbon infrastructure, and the North West is at the centre of it.

But here’s the thing: most Quantity Surveyors are still sleeping on utilities.

They think it’s too niche, too technical, or too slow.

Meanwhile, the sharp ones are already locking in long-term, high-value roles on projects that will reshape how the UK is powered and supplied.

This free guide cuts through the noise and tells it how it is; no corporate fluff, no recruiter spin.



Inside the guide

You’ll find:

• Where the work really is: the landmark projects fuelling AMP8 across the North West.
• What’s changing: how carbon, digital twins, and NEC4 are rewriting commercial delivery.

• Career moves that matter: routes in, pathways up, and how to stay visible when everyone else is scrambling.
• Hidden opportunities: from renewables to data centres — where utilities experience opens new doors.

It’s a straight-talking roadmap for QS's who don’t just want to watch the market move; they want to be ahead of it.
