About Fit Out UK

Fit Out UK is a leading interior fit out, logistics, and rollout specialist delivering high-quality, self-performed projects for blue-chip clients across retail, hospitality, banking, and commercial sectors. From our head office in North West London (Park Royal) and regional facilities, we excel in innovative, fast-track delivery including branch transformations, modular solutions like banking pods, and nationwide programmes for major financial institutions.

We are expanding our commercial team and seeking an experienced M&E Quantity Surveyor with a strong mechanical bias and proven estimating expertise to support our growing banking workstream, including ongoing and upcoming projects.

The Role

Reporting to the Senior QS/Commercial Lead, you will support day-to-day commercial activities across primarily banking fit-out and rollout projects. This hands-on position suits someone who thrives in tendering, procurement, and cost control within secure, high-profile financial environments with live operational constraints.

Key Responsibilities

• Leading tender preparation and submission for new projects, managing design changes and variations throughout the lifecycle (primarily on banking workstreams, e.g., branch transformations and specialist modular solutions).
• Developing detailed cost plans, budgets, and priced work packages for M&E elements, with emphasis on mechanical services.
• Full subcontractor procurement: preparing scopes of work, issuing tenders, negotiating terms, and agreeing final accounts.
• Maintaining accurate variation logs, trackers, and change management in close collaboration with site management teams.
• Managing general procurement trackers, producing material/equipment take-offs, and compiling equipment lists/schedules.
• Supporting the commercial team with cost reporting, value engineering, and ensuring projects stay on budget and programme in fast-paced banking rollouts.

What We're Looking For

• Proven experience as a Quantity Surveyor in M&E/fit-out/refurbishment projects, ideally with a mechanical bias (strong knowledge of HVAC, plumbing, ventilation, and associated systems in commercial/financial settings).
• Solid background in estimating and tendering for fit-outs, preferably including banking, financial services, or high-street branch environments.
• Experience on live operational projects (e.g., bank branches, secure financial fit-outs) is highly desirable.
• Strong commercial acumen with excellent negotiation, procurement, and contract management skills.
• Proficiency in scopes of work, cost plans, budgets, variation tracking, and take-offs.
• Ability to work effectively with site teams, subcontractors, and high-profile clients.
• Relevant qualifications (e.g., RICS, CIOB, or degree in Quantity Surveying/Building Services) preferred but not essential with strong experience.

What We Offer

• Competitive salary commensurate with experience
• Excellent benefits package
• Supportive team environment with genuine opportunities for career progression
• Exposure to prestigious banking programmes with a leading contractor, including high-profile work.

If you're a proactive, mechanically-minded M&E QS eager to join a dynamic fit-out specialist with a robust pipeline, we'd love to hear from you.

Location: Primarily based at our London HQ (NW10) with flexibility for Kent/South East candidates; hybrid working available.
