Job Description
Quantity Surveyor (M&E) - Hertfordshire (near Hitchin) Up to £75,000 + progression | Permanent
Ready to step up, or already leading from the front? Want real ownership of projects – not just spreadsheets? Looking for a role where your commercial decisions actually shape delivery? An established M&E contractor is looking to strengthen their commercial team following an internal change. They’re open‑minded on level – whether you’re an experienced QS who can run projects independently, or stepping into a QS role and want hands‑on support from a strong Commercial Lead.
This is an urgent hire, so ideally you’ll be available immediately or on short notice.
The role: Full lifecycle commercial management across projects. Office‑based near Hitchin, with site visits across London / South East. Exposure to a mix of projects – giving you breadth, not repetition. Work closely with delivery teams and senior leadership.
What we’re looking for
We care less about sector background and more about solid QS fundamentals. M&E experience helps, but is not essential.
You’ll be able to demonstrate:
- Strong understanding of cost planning, budgeting and forecasting
- Proven ability in valuations, variations and final accounts
- Confidence managing subcontractor procurement and commercial negotiations
- Experience with various contract forms (e.g. JCT / NEC) and how they work in practice
- Ability to identify risk early and protect margin
- Clear, structured reporting and commercial communication
- Strong attention to detail combined with commercial instinct
Why consider this?
Genuine flexibility on level – the role will be shaped around you. Direct access to decision‑makers – no layers, no politics. Opportunity to accelerate your career quickly. Up to £75,000 depending on experience. Long‑term progression opportunity.
