Job Description

Electrical Quantity Surveyor
Cardiff | Site-Based | £65,000–£75,000 or £350/day
Are you an Electrical QS who understands how M&E packages are put together (not just how they’re priced)?
We’re supporting a well-established building services contractor that has recently brought its electrical capability fully in-house, creating the need for an additional commercially strong QS to support a major live healthcare project in South Wales.
They’ve already hired one high-performing QS into the tea now they want another.
The Role
You’ll take ownership of the electrical package on a large, technically complex project, working closely with delivery teams on site.
This is a hands-on, site-led role where you’ll be expected to influence outcomes, not just report on them.
Key responsibilities:
  * Full commercial management of electrical works from procurement through to final account
  * Managing subcontractor accounts, valuations, and payments
  * Leading on variations, change control, and NEC compensation events
  * Providing accurate cost reporting, CVRs, and forecasts
  * Identifying risks early and supporting delivery teams with commercial insight
  * Managing contractual notices and protecting commercial position under NEC contracts
What They’re Looking For
You’ll come from an M&E / building services background, with strong exposure to electrical packages.
More important than tenure is capability and approach:
  * Experience running packages independently on site
  * Strong working knowledge of NEC contracts (essential)
  * Proven ability managing variations, compensation events, and final accounts
  * Commercial instinct (spotting and acting on issues early)
  * Confident dealing with subcontractors and project stakeholders
  * A proactive, delivery-focused mindset
Strong profiles often have:
  * M&E QS or Assistant QS experience stepping up
  * A technical background (engineering, trades, or building services)
  * Solid grounding in subcontractor management and procurement
The Offer
  * £65,000 – £75,000 salary (depending on experience)
  * Or £350/day freelance option
  * Long-term pipeline with opportunity to continue beyond this project
  * Growing contractor investing heavily in its electrical division
Why This Role
  * Genuine site-based opportunity with ownership and influence
  * Part of a business expanding its in-house electrical capability
  * Exposure to a high-value, technically demanding project
  * Clear route into ongoing work if you want stability
Bottom line
You'll do well here if you’re a QS who:
  * Prefers being close to the build
  * Understands M&E beyond spreadsheets
  * And can confidently operate under NEC
