M&E Quantity Surveyor - Construction Consultancy

M&E Quantity Surveyor - London (Hybrid)

Reference:

I'm working with a well-established construction consultancy that is continuing to grow its M&E cost management capability in London.

This is a senior M&E Quantity Surveyor role focused on advising corporate occupiers, commercial clients, and developers on large-scale commercial and residential construction projects. You'll be responsible for the mechanical and electrical aspects of schemes from early cost advice through to final account.

Hybrid working is firmly embedded. You'll have the flexibility to balance office time, home working, and project delivery without unnecessary presenteeism.

This is a visible, senior position with real influence. You'll sit at the centre of major project teams, providing specialist M&E commercial advice on high-value commercial and residential developments.

The client base is strong and repeat-led, including corporate organisations, investors, and developers who value technically robust advice, clear reporting, and proactive cost control.

You'll take ownership of M&E cost management services across multiple projects, including:

• Leading M&E cost planning, estimating, and procurement
• Delivering pre- and post-contract M&E commercial services
• Managing valuations, variations, payments, and final accounts
• Advising on M&E cost risk, value engineering, and procurement strategy
• Supporting large commercial and residential construction projects from feasibility through delivery
• Working closely with project managers and cost managers across wider teams
• Building long-term relationships with corporate clients and developers
• Mentoring and supporting junior M&E commercial staff

The workload is weighted towards complex commercial and residential schemes with significant M&E packages. You'll be involved in projects where services design, coordination, and cost certainty are critical to successful delivery.

This role suits an experienced M&E Quantity Surveyor who enjoys responsibility and autonomy.

You'll likely have:

• Strong experience delivering M&E cost management within a consultancy environment
• Detailed knowledge of mechanical and electrical building systems
• Experience working on large commercial and/or residential construction projects
• Confidence dealing directly with corporate clients and developers
• The ability to manage multiple projects and priorities effectively
• A collaborative, professional approach to delivery

Chartership is advantageous but not essential if your experience is strong.

• Hybrid working as standard
• Excellent corporate and developer client base
• High-value commercial and residential projects
• Senior-level responsibility with genuine influence
• Clear scope to progress as the M&E service continues to grow
