We are seeking an experienced commercial leader to transition into a Senior Quantity Surveyor role.

*Financial Control: Leading cost-to-complete reporting, CVRs (Cost Value Reconciliations), and protecting project margins.

*Leadership: Mentoring a team of junior and mid-level Quantity Surveyors to ensure commercial best practices.

*Risk Mitigation: Identifying and managing commercial risks across large-scale civil works.

The Requirements:*Experience: 5+ years as a Contract Administrator or QS/Project Engineer/Manager, specifically in Civil Construction, Earthworks, or Infrastructure.

*Contractual Knowledge: Expert understanding of head-contract management. Experience with AS4000/GC21 is excellent; we will provide training on NEC4 and JCT forms of contract.

*Youth Mobility Visa (Subclass 417)
*Communication: Exceptional negotiation skills and the ability to manage Tier 1 client relationships.

*Education: Degree in Construction Management, Quantity Surveying, Law, or Civil Engineering.
