    • Identifying commercial risks and opportunities and implementing appropriate strategies.
    • Supporting procurement and ensuring packages are commercially competitive.
    • Managing change control and ensuring variations are properly captured and valued.
    • Working closely with Project Managers, Engineers and senior management to maintain project profitability.
    • Producing accurate monthly commercial reports and forecasts.
    • Building strong relationships with clients, consultants, subcontractors and suppliers.
    • Providing commercial input during pre-construction and tender stages where required.

  • CAT A / CAT B commercial fit-outs
  • Major refurbishment and redevelopment projects
  • Complex MEP installations and technically demanding schemes

About You

  • Strong experience working for an MEP / M&E Contractor.
  • A proven background as an MEP Quantity Surveyor, Senior Quantity Surveyor or Commercial Manager.
  • Experience across high-end residential, commercial, hotel or similarly complex projects.
  • Strong understanding of MEP subcontract packages and procurement.
  • Excellent commercial, contractual and negotiation skills.
  • Experience managing variations, valuations, applications, forecasting and final accounts.
  • The confidence to work directly with clients and senior stakeholders.
  • Strong attention to detail and the ability to take commercial ownership of projects.
  • A proactive and commercially minded approach.
  • A relevant degree, HNC/HND or professional qualification is desirable, although strong practical experience will be considered.

Why Join?

This is a genuine opportunity to join an established MEP Contractor with a strong pipeline of prestigious London projects. You'll have the opportunity to:

  • Work on projects you're proud to put on your CV.
  • High-end residential, commercial and hospitality schemes with demanding technical and quality requirements.
