Be the face of commercial builds – lead, price, and win.Career-Defining Opportunity
Tired of roles that keep you behind the desk? We’re looking for a commercially savvy Quantity Surveyor with a passion for people for a leading project management and advisory . Someone who loves the idea of getting out in front of clients, pricing complex commercial builds (up to $100M), and advising/shaping high-stakes projects from day one.
This isn’t your standard QS role — it’s part cost consultant, part project strategist, part deal-closer. You’ll be influencing the direction of multimillion-dollar projects by being involved early, selling the solution, and owning the delivery.
Why this role is different:
- Not just QS work – You’ll lead client conversations, shape strategy, and see your deals through to successful delivery.
- High-trust environment – Be part of a nimble team that backs your ideas and lets you lead.
- Unique delivery model – The business takes on the financial risk of a project, so clients get certainty and you get the satisfaction of delivering on promises.
- Modern, growing firm – No layers of red tape. Just smart people doing exceptional work.
You’ll bring:
- QS experience in NZ (ideally 5+ years) across commercial projects
- A sharp commercial brain and the personality to match — you’re confident in front of clients and can build trust fast
- Experience or interest in Early Contractor Involvement (ECI)
- Hunger for career growth and a chance to lead deals from pitch to delivery
- A collaborative mindset — we work better together, and you’ll be in-office with a tight, high-performing team
What’s in it for you?
- Negotiable from $150K plus — depending on your level of experience
- Attractive bonus structure — upside for those who perform
- Room to grow — mentorship from senior leaders, fast progression
- Premium pipeline — work on landmark commercial projects with top-tier clients
- Team culture — collaborative, hands-on, and energising
