Senior MEP Quantity Surveyor
Cambridge | £60,000-£80,000 DOE + Excellent Benefits
Ready to take ownership of major MEP packages and work on some of the UK's most exciting construction projects?
We're working with a highly regarded, multidisciplinary construction consultancy that's continuing to expand its Cost Management team in Cambridge. With a strong project pipeline and an excellent reputation across the built environment, this is a great opportunity for an experienced MEP Quantity Surveyor to step into a role with real responsibility, client exposure, and long-term progression.
You'll be involved from the early stages of projects through to completion, providing commercial expertise across complex mechanical and electrical packages. The project portfolio spans healthcare, education, infrastructure, regeneration, and major public sector developments, giving you plenty of variety and the opportunity to build on your existing experience.
More importantly, you'll be joining a business that values its people, gives its surveyors autonomy, and actively supports career development.
The Role
You'll take the lead on the commercial management of MEP packages across a range of high-value projects, working closely with clients, contractors, and wider project teams.
Your responsibilities will include:
- Leading the commercial management of mechanical and electrical packages from pre-contract through to final account.
- Preparing cost plans, estimates, budgets, and tender documentation.
- Developing procurement strategies and managing tender processes.
- Evaluating tenders and supporting contractor appointments.
- Administering NEC and JCT contracts throughout the project lifecycle.
- Managing valuations, variations, change control, and final accounts.
- Identifying commercial risks and opportunities throughout projects.
- Leading value engineering exercises to deliver the best possible outcomes for clients.
- Monitoring project performance against commercial and programme objectives.
- Building strong, long-term relationships with clients, contractors, and consultants.
- Leading commercial meetings, workshops, and client presentations.
