About You
Ideally, you will have experience managing the commercial aspects of Mechanical and Electrical projects independently and be comfortable dealing directly with clients, main contractors, subcontractors and operational teams. You should have a good understanding of valuations, variations, subcontract procurement, cost reporting and final accounts, together with the ability to identify commercial risk and protect the financial position of a project. Formal Quantity Surveying qualifications would be advantageous, although relevant industry experience and a strong track record within M&E will be equally important.
The Opportunity
This is a good opportunity to join a contractor that already has an established presence in the market but continues to develop and secure new work.
