Are you an experienced Quantity Surveyor who’s eager to take on diverse, large-scale projects in a unique contractor-client capacity? Join a construction company that partners closely with a high-profile property developer, overseeing all stages of development for a variety of project types. This role offers you the chance to work directly on behalf of the developer, handling projects with end-to-end responsibility for quality, cost efficiency, and timely delivery.
About the Company
Our client is an independent, family-oriented construction firm created to manage all aspects of a property developer’s growing portfolio. This unique structure allows them to operate both as the contractor and client, fostering a collaborative, goal-oriented environment. With a broad project range that includes retail spaces, hospitality fitouts, townhouses, office and apartment conversions, facades, earthquake strengthening, and tenant fitouts, each project brings fresh challenges and learning opportunities.
The Opportunity
Currently, the team is expanding, and we are looking for a seasoned Senior Quantity Surveyor to play a key role in the business. Based on a prime CBD site, you’ll help oversee a $30M project involving earthquake restrengthening, facade upgrades, and a complete office fitout for a high-profile tenant. This position will give you exposure to the entire QS process, from initial estimating through to contract administration, managing variations, and working closely with subcontractors.
Since there’s no tendering involved, your primary focus will be on budgeting and estimating. You’ll also have the chance to work directly with the developer, gaining practical project management experience, handling consultant liaison, and driving project delivery. While prior project management experience isn’t essential, a proactive approach and desire to learn will make you successful in this role.
What’s on Offer
- Competitive Salary: $120K – $160K, commensurate with experience
- Additional Benefits: Negotiable extra annual leave, secure parking, hospitality discounts, and flexible start/finish times
- Work Culture: A collaborative, family-oriented environment where each team member supports the other to achieve project goals
About You
You’re an experienced Quantity Surveyor with a solid background in all aspects of quantity surveying, including estimating, contract administration, managing variations, and subcontractor relationships. You enjoy working as part of a team that thrives on open communication and collaboration. Ideally, you’re looking for an opportunity to grow your skills on unique projects and gain hands-on project management experience.
Ready to elevate your QS career? Apply today to join a company dedicated to delivering exceptional projects and supporting team members in a flexible, family-oriented setting.
