If you're a Senior M&E Quantity Surveyor looking for a role with genuine variety, a business that invests in its people and a strong pipeline of work in and around Manchester, this is worth your time.
Our client is an established building services contractor based in Greater Manchester, delivering mechanical and electrical engineering projects alongside a growing facilities management portfolio. They work across a broad range of sectors and have built long-standing relationships with some of the region's most recognisable clients.
This is a permanent role in which you'll sit at the heart of the commercial function, working across both project and FM contracts from pre-award through to final account. It's a role with real scope and responsibility, and the right candidate will have clear opportunity to shape the commercial direction of the business.
About the Business
Our client is one of the North West's leading M&E building services contractors, with a portfolio spanning engineering projects, planned and reactive FM, and specialist works across healthcare, education, commercial and retail sectors.
They hold environmental accreditations and are committed to a clear sustainability roadmap. They’ve also received external recognition in recent years for the way they look after their people. For a candidate who values working somewhere that takes its culture seriously rather than just talking about it, that kind of track record is worth noting.
The business is practical and delivery-focused. Senior people are accessible, commercial input is genuinely valued and decision-making is sensible rather than bureaucratic.
