Join an established New Zealand commercial construction company delivering varied building projects across Hawke’s Bay.

We’re looking for an experienced Quantity Surveyor who can independently manage the day-to-day commercial requirements of their projects. This could suit either a strong Intermediate ready to step up or an established Senior QS.

• Assisting with tendering and procurement when required

At Senior level, you’ll also have the opportunity to support and mentor junior QS team members. You don’t need to be an experienced mentor immediately, but you must be interested in developing this capability.

You’ll ideally bring:

• Around five or more years’ post-graduate QS experience
• New Zealand commercial building construction experience
• An NZ Diploma in Quantity Surveying or relevant degree
• Knowledge of local building methods, including timber-framed construction
