Job Description

Make sure every rand on site is counted, claimed and certified for the main building contractor in Centurion. This is a good step for someone who wants proper routine and a manager who notices good work.

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

What you'll actually do

  • Use measuring software to do take-offs from PDF and CAD drawings
  • Update cash flow forecasts for the project manager
  • Measure work on site for monthly interim payment certificates
  • Get quotes from subcontractors and compare them line by line
  • Value variations and prepare claims under JBCC or GCC conditions
  • Price tenders using supplier quotes, labour rates and plant costs

You'll need

  • You know the Standard System of Measuring Building Work
  • 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
  • Estimating software experience on top of Excel
  • SACQSP registration as a Professional or Candidate QS

What you get

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

Applying, step by step

  1. Read the "What you need" list above. If you tick most of it, go ahead and apply.
  2. Keep copies of these ready to send: academic transcript and degree certificate plus SACQSP registration letter, if registered.

  4. If you're shortlisted you'll hear from us within 9 working days, usually by phone.
