Job Description:

Senior M&E Quantity Surveyor | Special Works (High-End). Focus: 2-Stage Procurement. We don't do 'big and slow.' We do 'complex and elite.' Our Special Works division is looking for a Senior M&E Quantity Surveyor who thrives in the high-stakes world of fast-track, high-spec projects. This isn't a role for someone who wants to hide in a massive site office on a five-year scheme. This is for a technical expert who enjoys the agility of smaller, high-value projects and the 'sharp end' of commercial management. The Role: Commercial Leadership. As a Senior, you will own the commercial lifecycle of multiple M&E packages. You'll be expected to bring a 'business-owner' mindset to every project, ensuring technical accuracy and profitability. The Environment: We work with the best. Our projects are high-end, our clients are demanding, and our standards are uncompromising. You will have the autonomy to run your desk, supported by a team that understands the vital importance of M&E in the special works sector.

Job Responsibility:

  • Take the lead during pre-construction
  • Navigate the second stage with precision, turning conceptual scopes into airtight commercial packages
  • Manage sub-contractor selection and procurement strategies for specialist M&E trades where quality is non-negotiable
  • Produce detailed Bills of Quantities and defining scopes that leave no room for 'grey areas'
  • Full responsibility for CVRs, cash flow forecasting, and final account negotiations across a portfolio of special works

Requirements:

  • M&E Specialist: A career-long focus on Mechanical & Electrical services
  • Special Works DNA: You prefer the £100k - £3M project bracket-where the pace is fast, the details are intricate, and your impact is immediate
  • 2-Stage Expert: Proven experience in 2-stage tendering and collaborative procurement
  • Commercial Edge: You have the seniority to challenge costs, negotiate hard, and mentor junior members of the team
  • Candidates must be eligible to live and work in the UK
