Keeping the commercial engine of an MEP consultancy running requires sharp financial oversight and proactive engagement.

Who We Are
Architecture Social is a specialist recruitment consultancy partnering with MEP consultancies, building services firms, and engineering design practices across the UK. We are frequently approached by consultancies seeking project controllers who can manage the commercial performance of their project portfolios across healthcare, education, defence, and residential sectors.

What Our Clients Typically Ask For
• End-to-end project financial management — fee proposals, budget establishment, monthly reporting, and final account reconciliation
• Monitoring project budgets against time expenditure with monthly WIP valuations
• Client invoicing preparation and subconsultant cost recharge management
• Proactive engagement with project leaders on financial performance, early flagging of overruns, and corrective action recommendations
• Quarterly profitability reporting by sector and discipline with utilisation and recovery rate analysis
• Support for tender pricing, fee negotiation, and benchmarking analysis
• Part-qualification in ACCA, CIMA, or equivalent with strong analytical and problem-solving skills

If your commercial insight helps engineering consultancies deliver profitably across every sector, we want to hear from you.

Why Register With Architecture Social
MEP consultancies value project controllers who understand the rhythm of engineering project delivery — the resourcing cycles, the sector-specific billing patterns, and the compliance demands. Registering with us means your profile is reviewed as soon as a consultancy briefs us on a role. We take time to understand your financial expertise, your preferred working environment, and the sectors where you have the deepest experience.
