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 its commercial team following an internal change. They are 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.

• 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

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

• Genuine flexibility on level - the role will be shaped around you
• Opportunity to accelerate your career quickly
• Up to £75,000 depending on experience
• Long-term progression opportunity

If you're stuck in a role where you're either underused or unsupported, this is a chance to reset - and do it properly.
