Are you an Australian Citizen or UK Citizen and have experience working as a Quantity Surveyor / Cost Manager? ..... Read on...
Powerstaff is representing a leading international cost management consultancy at the forefront of the largest construction boom the United States has seen in decades. Driven by AI, cloud computing, and digital infrastructure demand, hyperscale data centres valued at or well above $1bn+ are being delivered across multiple US states and our client is scaling rapidly to support this growth.
We are now seeking Australian Cost Managers / Quantity Surveyors who are open to relocating to the United States and being sponsored on an E-3 or E-2 visa.
The Opportunity
This is a rare chance to:
- Work on mega-scale hyperscale data centre projects rarely seen in Australia
- Gain international project exposure with a global consultancy
- Fast-track your career through complex, high-value projects
- Increase your earning potential while building a long-term US career pathway
You'll be working as part of established US project teams delivering technically complex, high-pressure, high-reward developments.
Roles Available - Cost Manager
- Senior Cost Manager
(This opportunity is for delivery-focused professionals — not upper management roles.)
What We're Looking For - MUST BE an Australian / UK Citizen (mandatory for E-3 visa eligibility)
- Experience working in Cost Management / Quantity Surveying / Commercial Management ideally 4 - 9 years' experience in Australia or UK
- Experience across: Large commercial, industrial, infrastructure, or data centre projects
- Strong cost planning, procurement, and cost control capability
- Confident working with clients, consultants, and contractors
Visa & Relocation - E-3 visa sponsorship provided (at no cost)
- E-2 visa sponsorship for UK nationals (at no cost)
- Process typically takes a few months from offer to relocation
- Support provided throughout the visa and onboarding journey
- Ideal for candidates planning a move in 2026
- Relocation assistance provided
Why This Role Stands Out - Projects significantly larger than typical Australian builds
- Exposure to cutting-edge technology and delivery models
- Global brand name on your CV
- Clear pathway for long-term growth in the US market
