Quantity Surveyor

1. Essential Technical Knowledge

• Piling Systems: Strong understanding of various piling methods (e.g., bored piles, CFA, micropiles, Cavity Grouting & soil Improvement) and their key cost drivers such as drilling depth, rock socketing, and reinforcement requirements.
• Shoring & Earth Retention: Familiarity with secant/contiguous piles, diaphragm walls, soldier piles, and anchoring/strutting systems.
• Geotechnical Reports: Ability to interpret Soil Investigation (SI) reports and identify potential unforeseen ground conditions.
• Measurement Standards: Proficiency in standard methods of measurement (e.g., POMI or SMM7) related to excavation, earthworks, and deep foundations.

2. Key Responsibilities

• Quantity Take-off: Accurate measurement of concrete, reinforcement (including laps and spacers), and drilling lengths (soil vs. rock) from drawings.
• Variation Management: Handling additional costs related to change between IFC and IFT or any additional scope apply during the construction stage.
• Equipment Costing: Understanding the cost impact of rig mobilization, standby time, and specialized equipment.

3. Experience & Qualifications

• Bachelor’s degree in Civil Engineering or Quantity Surveying
• Minimum 5–8 years of experience, including at least 3 years in geotechnical/foundation projects
• Professional membership (e.g., MRICS or equivalent) is preferred
• Strong knowledge of FIDIC (particularly clauses related to adverse physical conditions)
• Proficiency in Excel, AutoCAD, and cost estimation software (e.g., CostX & Candy & Civil 3D)

4. Key Soft Skills

• Strong analytical and problem-solving abilities
• Effective negotiation skills, particularly for claims and variations
• High attention to detail, especially in reviewing piling logs and site records
