Quantity Surveyor (permanent) – MEP / Cleanroom Projects

Location: Greater Manchester (office-based with UK site travel)

Salary: £50,000–£52,000 + benefits (negotiable depending on experience)

We are currently supporting a client in their search for a Quantity Surveyor to join their team.

In recent years, the Quantity Surveying team reduced from four members to one due to a period of lower workloads, with no immediate need to replace outgoing staff. However, with several new key projects recently secured, they now have an immediate requirement and the potential for up to two permanent hires as the team rebuilds.

This role would suit a Quantity Surveyor with an MEP background and approximately 4+ years of experience, who is capable of supporting and ultimately leading an £11m cleanrooms project, with guidance from senior colleagues. Candidates do not need to currently hold a senior title - those with fewer years of experience but strong potential are encouraged to apply, while more experienced applicants will also be considered.

As the team grows, this presents an excellent opportunity to join at an early stage, develop professionally, and become an integral part of the business, with clear opportunities for progression into senior and lead-level responsibilities.

The client specialises in cleanrooms and controlled environments, delivering projects across sectors including:

* NHS and healthcare

* Biopharmaceutical and life sciences

* Microelectronics and high-tech manufacturing

* Other specialist industrial environments

The role will be primarily office-based in Manchester, with regular travel to sites across the UK. Current project locations include Plymouth and Oxford.

Key requirements:

* Approximately 4–6 years’ industry experience

* Background in MEP / Building Services

* Experience within commercial, industrial, or HVAC projects

* Understanding of basic electrical principles

* Ability to manage project costs and support delivery across multiple sites

Package:

* Salary typically in the region of £50,000–£52,000, negotiable depending on experience

* Standard benefits package, including pension and death-in-service scheme

Where to Advertise Biotech Jobs in the UK (2026 Guide)

Where to advertise biotech jobs UK in 2026: the specialist boards, academic networks and trade channels that reach biotech R&D and bioprocessing talent. The candidate pool spans life scientists, computational biologists, regulatory specialists and biomanufacturing engineers — each with distinct professional networks and job search behaviours. General job boards reach a broad audience but lack the specificity that biotech professionals expect. Specialist platforms, academic channels and sector-specific communities each serve a different part of the market. This guide, published by BiotechnologyJobs.co.uk, covers where to advertise biotech roles in the UK in 2026, how the main platforms compare, what employers should expect to pay, and what the data says about hiring across different role types.

Biotech Jobs UK 2026: What to Expect Over the Next 3 Years

Biotech Jobs UK 2026: roles, salaries and the genomics, cell therapy and AI-driven drug discovery hiring trends shaping UK biotech careers. Biotechnology is creating jobs at a rate that few other sectors can match. New disciplines are emerging from research labs and entering commercial hiring pipelines, existing roles are fragmenting into deeper specialisms, and the technologies driving it all — from AI-assisted drug discovery to next-generation gene editing — are advancing faster than the workforce can keep pace with. For job seekers, this creates an unusual challenge. In most industries, career planning means navigating a relatively familiar landscape and identifying where your skills fit. In biotech, that landscape is being actively redrawn. The roles generating the most hiring activity in 2028 may look quite different from the ones appearing in job adverts today. That's not a reason to feel overwhelmed — it's a reason to get informed. The candidates who thrive in this market aren't always those with the longest CVs or the most letters after their name. They're the ones who understand where the sector is heading: which disciplines are gaining commercial traction, which technologies are driving employer demand, and how the definition of a "biotech job" is expanding well beyond traditional pharmaceuticals and research roles. This article breaks down what the UK biotech jobs market is likely to look like over the next three years — covering emerging job titles, the technologies reshaping hiring, the skills employers are prioritising right now, and how to position your career ahead of the curve rather than behind it.
