About the role
About
We're working with a well-regarded construction business seeking an experienced Quantity Surveyor to join their team in Hawkes Bay. Whether you're an established Senior QS or a capable Intermediate ready for the next step, you'll have the confidence and capability to hit the ground running and manage projects autonomously.
Reporting to the Commercial Manager, you'll oversee the commercial and financial performance of a range of construction projects, from smaller works through to projects exceeding $20M. This is a role for someone who enjoys ownership, accountability, and the trust to manage their projects, build strong client relationships, and deliver successful commercial outcomes with minimal oversight.

Experience
This role requires someone with a solid grounding in New Zealand commercial construction. Importantly, we're less interested in the number of years you've been in the industry and more interested in your capability. You may have five years' experience or fifteen.
You'll bring
- Proven Quantity Surveying experience in NZ building or construction projects
- Strong understanding of timber-framed and commercial construction methodologies
- NZ Diploma in Quantity Surveying, Construction Management Degree, or equivalent qualification
