This is a unique opportunity to grow your skills and broaden commercial influence across the construction landscape. You’ll work closely with a high-performing, collaborative team and have direct input into project delivery, financial outcomes, and client relationships. We’re looking for someone who brings energy, communicates with confidence, and builds strong, trusted relationships. You’ll be client-facing and commercially astute, with a proactive mindset and a drive to deliver quality outcomes.

If you’re ready to take the next step in your QS career, this role offers the chance to make a tangible impact and help shape the future direction of our projects and business.

Responsibilities

  • Lead pre-construction assessments, manage pricing and tender processes, and prepare competitive submissions
  • Scope and price variations; negotiate with subcontractors and clients
  • Maintain accurate contract documentation and produce timely financial reports
  • Manage post-construction follow-up activities
  • Build and maintain strong stakeholder relationships (internal and external)

Qualifications

  • 5+ years of Quantity Surveying experience, ideally in both residential and commercial environments
  • Strong commercial acumen and a track record of delivering high-quality outcomes
  • Relevant Quantity Surveying qualification preferred
  • Strong verbal and written communication skills
  • Experience working with main contractors is a plus
  • Proven ability to manage budgets, meet deadlines, and influence stakeholders
  • Benefits

  • Southern Cross Medical Insurance
  • A supportive, people-first company culture
  • Opportunities to work across a national footprint
  • Ongoing professional development, mentorship, and internal learning pathways
  • Clear career progression and exposure to industry networks and professional bodies
  • A chance to contribute to a values-driven business making a real difference in communities
  • About the Company
