We are seeking a commercially astute Quantity Surveyor with 2–4 years of experience to manage the financial health of our construction projects. You will be responsible for the full commercial lifecycle—from detailed pre-contract cost estimation and tender evaluation to rigorous post-contract cost control and subcontractor management. The ideal candidate is a proactive problem-solver who can identify commercial risks early, implement value engineering solutions, and ensure that every project is delivered within budget while maximizing profitability.

Requirements:

1. Pre-Contract & Cost Engineering

• Tendering: Lead the preparation of tender packages, evaluate subcontractor bids, and provide strategic advice on selection.

• Value Engineering: Offer cost advice during the design phase to optimize project value without compromising quality or safety.

2. Commercial Management & Cost Control

• Budget Oversight: Monitor project costs against forecasts, preparing updated cost plans and "cost-to-complete" reports to ensure zero budget overruns.

• Risk Management: Proactively identify commercial risks and opportunities, implementing cost-control procedures throughout the project lifecycle.

• Cash Flow: Manage and update cash flow forecasts to ensure the project remains financially liquid and viable.

3. Subcontract & Contract Administration

• Procurement: Negotiate terms, rates, and final agreements with suppliers and subcontractors to ensure competitive pricing.

• Valuations & Variations: Prepare interim payment applications and certify subcontractor claims. Measure and price variations or change orders, ensuring all deviations from the original scope are documented and agreed upon.

• Compliance: Ensure all subcontractors and suppliers adhere strictly to contract terms and project requirements.

Qualifications and Skills:

Education & Background

• Academic: Bachelor’s degree in Quantity Surveying, Construction Management, or a related field.

• Experience: 2–4 years of practical experience as a QS, ideally with experience working for both main contractors and subcontractors.

• Contract Knowledge: Solid understanding of standard forms of contract (e.g., JCT, NEC, or local FIDIC variations).

Technical Competencies

• Software Mastery: Proficiency in CostX, Cubit, or advanced Excel for takeoff and cost modeling.

• Commercial Acumen: Strong negotiation, analytical, and problem-solving skills with a focus on project ROI.
