Location: Beverley, East Riding of Yorkshire Salary: £65k - £85k + package
Big Projects. Real Responsibility. Zero Boring Days. The Role: What You’ll Be Doing: • Cost Management – Cost plans, CVRs, forecasts. You’ll keep budgets on track and surprises to a minimum. You’ll excel in this role if you: You’ll work on cutting-edge projects with a team that’s smart, driven, and not afraid of a challenge. If you’re looking to grow your career, make a real impact, and occasionally enjoy a good coffee-fuelled contract clause debate—you’ll be in the right place On offer
We’re on the hunt for an experienced, M&E Quantity Surveyor to join a high-performing project team in Hull. This isn’t your average QS role—you’ll be driving cost strategy on a complex, £50m+ project in the advanced manufacturing and life sciences sector. If you’ve got sharp commercial instincts, contract confidence, and a love for spreadsheets (and maybe a bit of sarcasm), read on.
You’ll take the reins on end-to-end cost management—budgeting, forecasting, contract wrangling, and making sure everything adds up (literally). Working closely with the Regional Commercial Lead, you’ll steer supply chain selection (hello local SMEs!), manage JCT D&B contracts, and be the calm voice in a sea of cost reports, risk registers, and change controls.
Oh, and you’ll be mentoring junior team members too—because greatness should be shared.
