MEP Cost Manager – Sydney

We are currently recruiting for a leading, privately held cost consultancy that’s quietly dominating the national market and growing organically.
You will have the opportunity to work on large-scale Commercial, healthcare, data centres, education, and major mixed-use projects. 

With a strong pipeline of MEP-heavy projects across sectors like mission-critical infrastructure, healthcare, and complex commercial builds, they’re looking to bring on MEP Cost Managers to strengthen their teams. This is a rare opportunity to join a non-corporate, high-performance team where you'll be trusted to deliver, given autonomy, and backed with real support and mentorship.

The Role 
  • End-to-end cost management of mechanical, electrical, hydraulic, and fire packages
  • Preparing estimates, detailed cost plans, BOQs, and value engineering reports
  • Leading procurement, tender review, and contractor negotiations
  • Managing progress claims, cost reporting, and forecasting across live projects
  • Working directly with clients, services engineers, and head contractors
  • Supporting junior team members and contributing to internal MEP expertise
What We’re Looking For:
  • 5+ years in quantity surveying or cost management, with MEP focus
  • Strong understanding of local services trades, construction methodologies & supply chains
  • Confident working across pre- and post-contract phases
  • Comfortable client-facing, with excellent reporting & presentation skills
  • Bonus if you’ve worked on data centres, healthcare, pharma, or commercial fit-out projects

Ready to take the next step? Whether you're in a large firm and looking for more autonomy, or in a smaller shop wanting bigger projects.
