Quantity Surveyor

Responsibilities:

Feasibility Studies: Before a project even breaks ground, they evaluate the site and determine if the proposed concept makes financial sense. Cost Planning: They estimate the costs of materials, labor, plant, and timeframes. Bills of Quantities (BOQ): They measure construction drawings to quantify exactly what materials and labor are needed, which is used by contractors to price their bids. Tendering and Procurement: They help prepare tender packages and contract documents. They manage the bidding process, evaluate the quotes submitted by builders, and help clients select the most qualified and cost-effective contractors. Contract Administration and Valuation: They ensure all work complies with the agreed-upon contract terms (e.g., FIDIC or NEC contracts). They conduct routine site visits to evaluate the completed work, which allows them to authorize payments to subcontractors and manage cash flow. Cost Control and Dispute Resolution: They track ongoing costs and forecast expenditures to prevent budget overruns.

Requirements:

Applicants must possess a minimum of HND/B.Sc in Quantity Surveying or a related field. Applicants must have 2–3 years of proven experience as a Quantity Surveyor. Applicants must have strong knowledge of cost estimation, budgeting, and contract administration. Applicants must be able to prepare project valuations and manage project costs effectively. Experience in construction projects will be an added advantage.
