Quantity Surveyor
$130000 - $150000 per annum

Looking for a Quantity Surveyor who’s as confident in the forecast as they are on site. Someone who can run the numbers, read the programme, and spot a cost risk before it bites.

You’ll be joining a well-established Tier 2 contractor delivering $5M–$50M commercial builds across Auckland — from office and education to civic and mixed-use projects. This is a business that backs its QS team as strategic partners in delivery, not just a line in the budget.

What you’ll do:

  • Take ownership of cost planning, tender analysis, and contract administration
  • Manage progress claims, variations, and EOTs with precision and pace
  • Lead commercial reporting and forecasting that drives project decisions
  • Work side-by-side with site and project managers to keep delivery sharp
  • Build strong, results-focused relationships with subcontractors, consultants, and clients

What you’ll bring:

  • Proven QS experience in NZ commercial construction — ideally mid to senior level
  • Track record on medium–large builds ($5M+) with Tier 1 or Tier 2 contractors
  • Strong knowledge of NZS 3910 and modern contract administration practices
  • Clear, confident communication and a solutions-first mindset
  • Ability to work autonomously while contributing to a high-performing team

Why join:

  • Strong Pipeline: Secure, varied commercial projects with long-term visibility
  • Strategic Role: Trusted partner to delivery teams, not just a numbers role
  • Supportive Culture: Collaborative leadership that values commercial expertise
  • Competitive Salary: $130+ dependant on experience

You must have full working rights and reside in New Zealand to be considered for the position.
