M and E Quantity Surveyor

Position Overview

We are recruiting for a specialist Mechanical and Electrical Quantity Surveyor for a Tier contractor for a scheme in Reading.

They are based locally and work across Reading, Oxford and the M4 corridor on framework schemes up to GBP
70 million in the education, care, NHS, local authority, student and commercial marketplaces.

They have won a major new scheme in Reading with a major MEP package and are going to self‑deliver the package with both direct labour and smaller specialist subcontractors in place. An excellent team of Building Services Managers, Mechanical Site Managers and Electrical Site Managers will manage the design and build elements, supervise and drive the project forward, and now need the final piece of the jigsaw: the commercial management of the scheme.

Initially you will be responsible for pre‑selection and procurement of the packages, agreeing terms and budgets with supply chain and supporting the internal delivery team. Once on site you will help deliver the scheme by managing the M and E packages and will have full responsibility for payments, valuations, variations, remeasures, CVR assessments and will help contribute to the weekly briefings on site and fortnightly progress meetings.

They expect this delivery model to evolve and develop into a process they can use on every major or complex scheme moving forward, giving you the opportunity to have a huge impact on how the business develops.

Ideally you will have worked in a similar role for either a specialist subcontractor or are undertaking a similar role with either a regional business or Tier 1 contractor locally. They are happy to consider people who have worked their way up from the tools, have an engineering background, or are degree qualified and entered through a professional route.

They offer competitive salary and car allowance schemes, an annual bonus and generous benefits packages.
