Job Description

This is a numbers job with boots on: bills of quantities, site measurements and payment claims in Brackenfell. It suits someone who likes knowing exactly what a good day's work looks like.

The site is in Brackenfell; early starts mean public transport timing matters, so check your route before applying. Weekend work is on a roster, so you won't be on every weekend.

The work, day to day

  • Value variations and prepare claims under JBCC or GCC conditions
  • Prepare the final account at the end of the project
  • Take off quantities from drawings to build a bill of quantities
  • Use measuring software to do take-offs from PDF and CAD drawings
  • Get quotes from subcontractors and compare them line by line

Must-haves

  • Strong Excel skills, including formulas and pivot tables
  • Code 08 licence for site visits
  • You know the Standard System of Measuring Building Work
  • At least 3 years of QS work in private practice or with a contractor

Helpful, not essential

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

What's in it for you

  • Travel allowance for site visits
  • Hybrid days in the office and on site
  • Study support for an honours degree

  1. Read the "What you need" list above. If you tick most of it, go ahead and apply.
  2. Get these ready, because shortlisted people are asked for them straight away: academic transcript and degree certificate plus SACQSP registration letter, if registered.
  3. Use the form on this page. It takes about two minutes and you don't need to upload anything yet.
  4. Keep your phone on. Shortlisted applicants are contacted by call, SMS or WhatsApp within 8 working days.
