Senior M and E Quantity Surveyor Special Works (High:End)

Location: London

Focus: 2:Stage Procurement

We dont do big and slow. We do complex and elite. Our Special Works division is looking for a Senior M and E Quantity Surveyor who thrives in the high:stakes world of fast:track, high:spec projects.

This isnt 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 and E packages. Youll be expected to bring a business:owner mindset to every project, ensuring technical accuracy and profitability.

2:Stage Mastery: Take the lead during pre:construction. Youll navigate the second stage with precision, turning conceptual scopes into airtight commercial packages.

Tactical Procurement: You are the lead negotiator. Youll manage sub:contractor selection and procurement strategies for specialist M and E trades where quality is non:negotiable.

The Gold Standard BoQ: Youll be hands:on in producing detailed Bills of Quantities and defining scopes that leave no room for grey areas.

Financial Oversight: Full responsibility for CVRs, cash flow forecasting, and final account negotiations across a portfolio of special works.

Your Profile

M and E Specialist: A career:long focus on Mechanical and Electrical services.

Special Works DNA: You prefer the GBP100k : GBP3M 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.

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 and E in the special works sector.
