Job Description

Make sure every rand on site is counted, claimed and certified for the shopfitting company in Kimberley. You'll work with a small crew, so being easy to work with matters as much as skill.

The site is in Kimberley; early starts mean public transport timing matters, so check your route before applying.

What your day looks like

  • Price tenders using supplier quotes, labour rates and plant costs
  • Update cash flow forecasts for the project manager
  • Value variations and prepare claims under JBCC or GCC conditions
  • Get quotes from subcontractors and compare them line by line
  • Take off quantities from drawings to build a bill of quantities
  • Draft subcontract agreements and payment schedules
  • Use measuring software to do take-offs from PDF and CAD drawings

What you need

  • Accurate with numbers and able to back up every figure you certify
  • BSc, BTech or Diploma in Quantity Surveying
  • Understanding of JBCC Principal Building Agreement clauses
  • At least 3 years of QS work in private practice or with a contractor
  • Code 08 licence for site visits

Nice if you have

  • Honours degree in Quantity Surveying
  • SACQSP registration as a Professional or Candidate QS
  • Estimating software experience on top of Excel

What's in it for you

  • Paid SACQSP registration fees and CPD courses
  • Travel allowance for site visits
  • Hybrid days in the office and on site
  • Study support for an honours degree
