M&E Quantity Surveyor

I'm working with a well-established construction contractor based in Inverness who is looking to appoint an experienced M&E Quantity Surveyor to join their commercial team.

They have a strong order book across the Highlands, with projects ranging from commercial builds and schools to infrastructure and residential developments. Due to continued workload and new projects starting, they need someone who can take real ownership of the mechanical and electrical packages.

The Role

You'll be responsible for managing the M&E elements of projects from procurement stage right through to final account.

This will include:

• Preparing and reviewing budgets for M&E works
• Procurement of mechanical and electrical subcontractors
• Negotiating subcontract terms and pricing
• Managing applications for payment and variations
• Carrying out cost reporting and forecasting
• Monitoring spend and ensuring projects remain commercially on track
• Attending site and commercial meetings
• Working closely with Project Managers and Site Teams
• Agreeing and closing out final accounts

This isn't just a desk-based role they're looking for someone who is confident getting involved with the wider project team and understanding what's happening on site.

What They're Looking For

• Solid experience as a Quantity Surveyor with strong exposure to M&E packages
• Good understanding of building services and associated costs
• Experience managing subcontractors and variations
• Commercially aware and comfortable challenging costs where needed
• Organised, proactive and able to manage multiple packages

What's On Offer

• Competitive salary depending on experience
• Long-term, stable work with a contractor that has a strong local presence
• Supportive commercial team
• Opportunity to progress as the business continues to grow

This would suit someone who wants to be part of a growing Highland-based contractor and take ownership of their own projects, rather than being a small cog in a large machine.
