The Associate Quantity Surveyor's Role

The Associate Quantity Surveyor will take responsibility for leading commissions, managing client relationships and supporting the development of junior team members.

While the consultancy delivers a significant amount of MEP-focused work, previous MEP or data centre experience is not essential. This role would suit an Associate Quantity Surveyor from a traditional building consultancy background who is keen to broaden their sector experience and gain exposure to more technically demanding projects.

The Associate Quantity Surveyor will work across both pre- and post-contract stages, providing cost planning, procurement and commercial management advice while maintaining strong relationships with clients and project teams.

• Strong UK PQS / construction consultancy experience
• MRICS qualified or equivalent professional experience
• Proven ability to lead projects and manage client relationships
• Strong pre- and post-contract cost management knowledge
• Good understanding of JCT and other UK contract forms
• Experience within MEP or data centres would be beneficial but is not required
• Genuine interest in broadening sector and technical experience
• Confident managing and mentoring junior Quantity Surveyors
• Commercially aware, professional and client focused

In Return

• 80,000 - 90,000 per annum
• London-based position
• Exposure to technically complex and MEP-led projects
• Opportunity to broaden sector experience
• Senior client-facing responsibility
• Opportunity to mentor and develop junior staff
• Clear route towards Director-level progression
