Senior Cost Manager

Senior 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 such as 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 defence builds.

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.
