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.

About You

• 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.

Why Join?
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.

Please note, only shortlisted candidates who meet the requirements will be contacted.
