Your new company
An established M&E contractor based in Newtownards is seeking an experienced MEP Quantity Surveyor to join its growing team.

The business delivers a diverse range of projects across commercial, industrial, high-rise residential and retail sectors throughout Northern Ireland and the Republic of Ireland.

Your new role
This is a broad commercial position combining traditional Quantity Surveying responsibilities with client relationship management and business development.

You''ll be involved throughout the project lifecycle, while also working closely with senior management to develop existing client relationships and identify new opportunities.

Key responsibilities include:

• Commercial management of mechanical and electrical projects
• Prepare valuations, variations and final accounts
• Procure and manage subcontractors and suppliers
• Monitor project costs, margins and overall commercial performance
• Support tenders, pricing and bid submissions
• Attend client, pre-contract and project meetings
• Develop and maintain relationships with existing and prospective clients
• Identify new project and tender opportunities across NI and ROI
• Support business development activity, helping to grow existing accounts and secure new clients
• Represent the business commercially at client and industry meetings
• Work closely with senior management on pipeline opportunities and future workload
• Help drive repeat business and support the continued growth of the company

What you''ll need to succeed

• Quantity Surveying experience within M&E/building services
• Good knowledge of mechanical and/or electrical installations
• Strong commercial and negotiation skills
• Confidence dealing directly with clients and contractors
• A proactive, relationship-focused approach
• The ability to identify and develop commercial opportunities
• Full UK driving licence

You don''t necessarily need previous formal business development experience. This could suit an MEP Quantity Surveyor who enjoys the client-facing side of the role and wants broader commercial responsibility.

What you''ll get in return
This is a great opportunity for an MEP Quantity Surveyor looking for something broader than a traditional QS role. You''ll have plenty of autonomy, direct exposure to senior management and clients, and the chance to get involved in the commercial growth of the business.

With a varied project portfolio across NI and ROI, it offers the opportunity to strengthen your commercial experience while developing the relationship management and business development side of your career.

• 1 day working from home per week
• Varied MEP projects across Northern Ireland and ROI
• Exposure to commercial, industrial, high-rise residential and retail schemes
• Broader remit than a traditional Quantity Surveying position
• Direct involvement with clients and senior management
• Opportunity to develop business development experience without moving into a pure sales role
• Genuine opportunity to contribute to the continued growth of the business
• Competitive salary and package based on experience
