Role Description
We’re looking for a Senior Quantity Surveyor to deliver pre-contract and post-contract cost management services in our Adelaide office.

Working across the property and building sectors, you’ll work on projects ranging from $3m and $25m to provide clients with clear, practical cost advice.

You’ll be responsible for:

• Preparing cost estimates and cost plans, identifying allowances, exclusions and potential cost risks.
• Undertaking detailed measurements and quantity take-offs, as well as preparing bills of quantities where required.
• Reviewing tender submissions, comparing pricing and making recommendations to support procurement decisions.
• Assessing contractor progress claims and variations to assist the Project Manager's/Superintendent's contract management duties.
• Preparing cost reports, maintaining variation registers and forecasting anticipated final costs.
  
  

Candidate Profile
To be successful in this role, you’ll need demonstrated experience delivering Quantity Surveying services across both pre-contract and post-contract stages on building projects.  Relevant sectors can include residential, commercial, hotels, education, aged care, health and other building developments.

You’ll also need:

• Experience preparing cost estimates, cost plans and tender assessments.
• Demonstrated experience in interpreting drawings, specifications and changes in design.
• A sound understanding of building construction methods, construction costs, contractual payment and variation processes.
• Strong attention to detail and communication skills, with an ability to explain your recommendations to clients.
• The ability to prepare accurate cost reports, identify budget risks and provide clear advice on their implications.
• Relevant qualifications in Quantity Surveying, Construction Management, Construction Economics or a related discipline.
  
  

What’s In It For You
This role is a great opportunity for a Senior Quantity Surveyor who enjoys practical project delivery and wants ownership of their work.  You'll have the backing of a National business behind you, but get to operate in a small, tight-knit team in Adelaide.

As a Senior Quantity Surveyor at RPI, you’ll also receive:

• The ability to broaden your project expertise across multiple sectors and locations.
• Outstanding support from our experienced leadership team as you develop your technical capability and client management skills.
• A hybrid working environment, with high levels of autonomy and flexibility.
• Ongoing career development and progression opportunities, including a tailored Professional Development Plan and a senior mentor.
