Due to expansion and growth on multiple large-scale Data Centre fit-out projects, we are seeking experienced and commercially sharp Electrical Quantity Surveyor (QS) for permanent or contract positions supporting our operations in London and Dublin.
About the Role
We are a leading M&E contractor specialising in high-value commercial and infrastructure projects. Due to a strong pipeline of work, we are seeking a well-rounded, ambitious Electrical Quantity Surveyor who can confidently manage the entire project lifecycle—from cradle to grave.
This is a role for someone who loves variety. You will be equally comfortable in the pre-contract phase building accurate, competitive estimates and digital take-offs as you are post-contract, managing live on-site commercial delivery, variations, and final accounts.
Key Responsibilities:
- Lead digital take-offs, prepare competitive tender packages, review contract conditions, and identify commercial risks/opportunities.
- Manage on-site financial delivery, including procurement of specialist electrical sub-contractors (switchgear, BMS, fire systems).
- Track, value, and negotiate site variations and instructions under standard forms of contract JCT / NEC4.
- Prepare accurate monthly Cost Value Reconciliations (CVRs), cash flow forecasts, and present reports to senior leadership.
- Negotiate and finalise sub-contract and main contract final accounts to maximize profitability.
- Produce accurate monthly cost reports (CVRs), cash flow forecasts, and budget valuations.
- Manage procurement, variations, valuations, and payment certifications for electrical subcontractors.
- Identify, price, and negotiate variations and contract amendments in line with data centre project fast-track schedules.
- Maintain project risk registers and ensure contract compliance (NEC/JCT/RIAI frameworks).
- Manage the full commercial lifecycle of electrical fit-out packages from pre-construction to final account close-out.
What We Are Looking For:
- Previous experience as a Quantity Surveyor specializing in Electrical/MEP packages.
- Experience within critical infrastructure (Data Centres, Pharmaceutical, or major Industrial builds) is highly advantageous.
- Proven track record of independently managing electrical scopes.
- Demonstrated capability handling both pre-contract estimating and post-contract site delivery.
- Strong working knowledge of (JCT and/or NEC) contracts with sharp negotiation skills.
- Proficient in digital measurement/estimating software (e.g CostX, Bluebeam, Ensign, Trimble).
If you have a strong background in MEP commercial management (electrically biased) and want to work on fast-paced, high-value critical infrastructure projects, we want to hear from you.
Qualifications
- Degree in Quantity Surveying, Commercial Management, or a related engineering discipline.
- RICS accreditation is a plus.
What’s On Offer
- Highly Competitive Package: Attractive base salary/day rate tailored to experience, alongside a comprehensive benefits package.
- Project Pipeline: Long-term career stability with a robust pipeline of high-profile, multi-megawatt hyperscale data centre projects.
- Professional Growth: Clear pathways for career advancement into senior commercial leadership roles.
Equal Opportunity Statement – We are committed to diversity and inclusivity.
