Quantity Surveyor

Roles & Responsibilities:

• Review and interpret approved construction drawings and project specifications to determine theoretical material quantities.
  
• Compare and tally actual on-site material usage against theoretical quantities as per drawings.
  
• Monitor, record, and analyze material consumption to identify variances, inefficiencies, and wastage.
  
• Prepare detailed reports highlighting discrepancies, potential cost overruns, and areas for improvement.
  
• Work closely with site engineers, project managers, and procurement teams to ensure material usage is within planned limits.
  
• Implement material control measures to minimize wastage and improve efficiency.
  
• Prepare and maintain Bills of Quantities (BOQs)
  
  by physically verifying site measurements with the approval of the engineer in charge.
  
• Liaise with government engineers regarding BOQ submissions, clarifications, and approvals.
  
• Assist in preparing cost estimates and cost control reports for ongoing and upcoming projects.
  
• Conduct periodic audits of materials and construction progress to ensure adherence to budget and technical standards.
  
• Maintain proper documentation of all quantity assessments, material reconciliations, BOQs, and site inspection reports.
  
• Support management in decision-making by providing data-driven insights on material usage and project costs.
  

Candidate Profile:

• Bachelors degree/Diploma in Civil Engineering or Quantity Surveying (additional certifications in cost control will be an advantage).
  
• Proven experience in quantity surveying, cost control, BOQ preparation, and material management in civil construction projects.
  
• Strong knowledge of reading and interpreting civil construction drawings and specifications.
  
• Good understanding of BOQ preparation, site measurement verification, material reconciliation, and cost estimation.
  
• Experience in liaising with government engineers for BOQ approvals and project documentation.
  
• Proficiency in MS Excel, AutoCAD, and quantity surveying software like Bluebeam, CostX,etc.
  
• Excellent analytical and reporting skills with attention to detail.
  
• Ability to detect and report material wastage or inefficiency promptly.
  
• Strong communication skills for coordination with site teams, head office, and government authorities.
  
• High level of integrity and commitment to accurate reporting.
