📋 Description

• This is a quantity surveying role sitting within the estimating team, reporting to the Estimating Manager • The primary need is someone who can own the takeoff and measurement work across commercial projects, freeing the senior estimators to focus on pricing and analysis • If you can also rate and price, that's a genuine bonus, but QS capability is what this hire is built around. • Perform detailed quantity takeoffs across all non-services trades (structure, concrete, steel, reinforcement, fit-out, finishes, etc.) from architectural and structural drawings • Produce accurate bills of quantities for commercial construction projects within tight tender timeframes, typically 4 to 5 weeks • Work through full drawing sets independently, identifying scope inclusions, gaps, and ambiguities • Input quantities into Cubit or Costx and maintain structured, reviewable workbooks • Liaise with the Estimating Manager and senior estimators to clarify scope and flag potential risks or documentation issues • Support multiple concurrent tenders, managing your own workload against submission deadlines • Over time, build familiarity with our standard rates and pricing methodology to progress toward full estimation capability

🎯 Requirements

• Demonstrated experience performing quantity takeoffs on commercial construction projects • Ability to read and interpret architectural and structural drawings independently • Experience quantifying structural trades (concrete, steel, reinforcement, framing, cladding, finishes) • Strong attention to detail with the ability to self-check work before handover • Clear written and verbal communication in English • Experience working to fixed deadlines in a tendering environment • Minimum 4 to 5 years in a QS or estimating role within commercial construction; fit-out-only experience will be considered if the candidate can demonstrate structural takeoff competency • Australian construction experience is preferred; candidates with NZ or UK experience will be seriously considered. Candidates whose experience is limited to Indian construction standards are unlikely to be shortlisted without strong compensating factors.

🏖️ Benefits

• Full-time permanent offshore role with a well-established Australian commercial builder • Direct integration into a structured, experienced estimating team • Clear pathway to grow from QS-focused work into full estimation over time • Stable, repeat-tender workload across a range of commercial project types • Supportive team environment; already has an offshore team member, so this model is well understood
