Lead the commercial function on projects that genuinely make an impact.
The Placement Co. are proud to partner with TW Construction as they continue to grow, supported by an expanding pipeline of commercial, industrial and residential developments across the North Island. They're looking to appoint an experienced Senior Quantity Surveyor to become a key part of their commercial team.
This isn't just another QS role.
You'll work closely with senior leadership, have the opportunity to influence commercial processes, mentor others within the business and play a significant role in the successful delivery of projects from procurement through to final account.
If you enjoy taking ownership, making commercial decisions and working within a business that values initiative and continuous improvement, this could be the opportunity you've been waiting for.
About TW Construction
TW Construction forms part of the wider TW Group - a well-established, locally owned organisation delivering integrated construction, property and trade services throughout the North Island.
Their approach is built around long-term relationships, quality delivery and empowering great people to do their best work. With a strong forward workload and an ambitious growth strategy, it's an exciting time to join the business.
The role
Reporting into senior leadership, you'll be responsible for the commercial management of multiple projects from pre-construction through to completion.
Your responsibilities will include:
- Preparing accurate cost plans and estimates
- Procurement and subcontractor management
- Tender analysis and contract negotiations
- Managing variations, claims and final accounts
- Cost reporting, forecasting and cashflow management
- Identifying commercial risks and opportunities
- Improving systems and commercial processes
- Building strong relationships with clients, consultants and subcontractors
This is a hands-on Senior QS position where your experience and commercial judgement will genuinely influence project outcomes.
About you
You'll already be operating at Senior QS level and enjoy taking ownership of projects.
You'll ideally bring:
- 7+ years' Quantity Surveying experience within commercial construction
- Strong knowledge of NZ construction contracts
- Excellent commercial acumen
- Confidence managing multiple projects simultaneously
- Outstanding negotiation and communication skills
- A proactive, solutions-focused approach
- The ability to build lasting relationships across clients and project teams
Most importantly, you'll be someone who enjoys being part of a collaborative business where your ideas are valued.
What's on offer?
- Competitive salary package
- Long-term career progression
- Strong pipeline of interesting projects
- Stable, growing business
- Supportive team and leadership team
- Opportunity to influence commercial processes
- Cambridge lifestyle with easy access to Hamilton, Tauranga and Auckland
