Senior Quantity Surveyor
Are you an experienced Quantity Surveyor looking to take the lead on landmark projects while working directly with clients to shape outcomes? This is a fantastic opportunity to join a respected project advisory and cost consultancy with a reputation for delivering excellence across projects ranging from boutique developments to commercial towers valued at over $1B.
About the Role
We’re seeking a Senior Quantity Surveyor
with at least 7 years’ experience across a diverse range of built form projects. You’ll lead the cost management function on complex assignments, working closely with clients from early feasibility and cost planning through to post-contract delivery.
In this role, you will:
- Lead cost planning, estimating, procurement advice, and contract administration.
- Confidently present and explain cost plans, risks, and strategies to clients, providing clear solutions and guidance.
- Manage and mentor teams, while being equally comfortable working independently on high-profile assignments.
- Build strong relationships with clients, consultants, and contractors, acting as a trusted advisor.
- Balance involvement in both large-scale developments and smaller, bespoke projects.
- Minimum 7 years’ experience in quantity surveying / cost management, with exposure to significant built form projects.
- Strong pre- and post-contract expertise, with the ability to see projects through the full lifecycle.
- Exceptional client-facing skills – able to present confidently, challenge assumptions, and provide strategic advice.
- Track record of working on projects of varying scales, ideally including high-value commercial or mixed-use developments.
- Leadership qualities – capable of building and guiding teams, while working autonomously when required.
You’ll become part of a collaborative consultancy of around 30 professionals who punch well above their weight, delivering both large-scale landmark projects and smaller niche assignments. The business offers the chance to work on some of the country’s most exciting developments, while enjoying a professional, supportive, and entrepreneurial environment.
If you’re a motivated Senior Quantity Surveyor seeking an opportunity to step up, lead, and work on projects that make a mark on the skyline, we’d love to hear from you.
