About Xponent Design Studio

At Xponent Design Studio, we are a dynamic Design & Build firm bridging the gap between spatial design, physical fabrication, and interactive technologies. We specialize in high-impact commercial interiors, experiential exhibition stands, and immersive corporate spaces. We are looking for a meticulous, commercial-minded Quantity Surveyor to take ownership of our project cost management, tender submissions, and contractual governance.

Key Responsibilities

• Tender & Cost Estimation: Prepare detailed, competitive cost estimates, material take-offs, and comprehensive Bills of Quantities (BQ) for private commercial fit-outs and public sector/corporate tenders (e.g., GeBIZ submissions).
• Procurement & Subcontractor Management: Source, evaluate, and negotiate quotations from sub-contractors, fabricators, and specialized technology/AV vendors to ensure optimal margins without compromising design intent.
• Variation Orders (VO) & Scope Control: Track design iterations and scope creep closely; prepare and negotiate VOs with clients and sub-contractors in a fast-paced environment.
• Contract Administration & Claims: Manage progress claims, interim payment certifications, and final accounts reconciliation in compliance with local standard conditions of contract.
• Cost Control & Analysis: Conduct post-project cost reviews to analyze margins, identify budget leakages, and refine standard rate libraries for future proposals.

Requirements

• Education: Diploma or Degree in Quantity Surveying, Building/Construction Management, or a related field.
• Experience: 2–4 years of relevant QS experience in Singapore, ideally within commercial interior fit-outs, experiential spaces, or retail design & build.
• Technical Skills: Strong proficiency in reading architectural, MEP, and joinery/carpentry shop drawings; familiar with standard contract forms (SIA/REDAS) and GeBIZ tender workflows.
• Industry Knowledge: Good understanding of local fabrication methods, specialized joinery, material market rates, and building regulations.
• Mindset: Commercially astute, proactive in risk mitigation, and able to work closely with project managers and designers to hit tight project deadlines.

What We Offer

• Competitive Base Salary + Performance Commission Incentives: Earn extra based on successful project delivery and profitability.
• Transport Allowance / Claims: Comprehensive mileage/fuel/transport coverage for all site visits and vendor meetings.
• Clear Career Progression: Fast-track opportunity to step up to Senior Project Executive / Project Manager as we expand the team.
• Dynamic, supportive, and fast-moving team environment.
