About the Role
We are expanding our Health, Life Science & Research Science Cost Management team and are looking for an experienced MEP Project Cost Consultant. You will deliver a variety of projects, from large international programmes to smaller, high-impact commissions for national and global clients. Using your skills in cost management, planning, estimating and budgeting, you will develop cost plans, carry out feasibility studies and benchmarking, support procurement and tender evaluations, review contractor proposals, and manage contracts and variations through construction and handover. This is a great opportunity to provide specialist MEP commercial and quantity surveying support across the UK and Europe, with work concentrated around London, Oxford and Cambridge but opportunities across our wider network. You will be involved from early design (RIBA Stage 1) to completion, working with multi-disciplinary teams, mentoring junior colleagues and helping us deliver projects on time and on budget.

- Prepare cost estimates, feasibility studies and benchmarking; develop and manage cost plans.
- Support procurement and tender evaluations; review and agree contractor proposals and manage contract variations.
- Deliver cost control through construction and handover; advise on value engineering and whole-life cost where relevant.
- Work collaboratively across design, engineering and project teams and support development of junior staff.
Requirements
- ARICS Quantity Surveyor or equivalent commercial/quantity surveying qualification; candidates with strong MEP commercial experience but different formal titles are welcome.
- Experience on medium to large construction projects; experience in research, life sciences or healthcare is a plus but not essential.
