Job Description

This is a numbers job with boots on: bills of quantities, site measurements and payment claims in Springs. If you learn fast and don't mind being shown things twice, you'll settle in within a few weeks.

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

The work, day to day

  • Price tenders using supplier quotes, labour rates and plant costs
  • Get quotes from subcontractors and compare them line by line
  • Measure work on site for monthly interim payment certificates
  • Prepare the final account at the end of the project
  • Take off quantities from drawings to build a bill of quantities
  • Value variations and prepare claims under JBCC or GCC conditions
  • Track budget against actual cost and flag overruns early

You'll need

  • At least 3 years of QS work in private practice or with a contractor
  • Strong Excel skills, including formulas and pivot tables
  • BSc, BTech or Diploma in Quantity Surveying
  • Code 08 licence for site visits

Nice if you have

  • SACQSP registration as a Professional or Candidate QS
  • Honours degree in Quantity Surveying

What you get

  • Travel allowance for site visits
  • Hybrid days in the office and on site
  • Paid SACQSP registration fees and CPD courses
