- Review and quantify Change Orders, variations, and claims, performing quantity take-offs, cost impact assessments, and alignment with baseline budgets.
- Prepare high-level estimates for design changes, urgent requests, confidential client inquiries, and strategic commercial decisions.
- Review significant quantity shifts associated with client-driven changes (e.g., fill, pavement layers, bridge cladding, utilities, landscaping).
- Support development and maintenance of program-level cash flow forecasts in coordination with the planning and cost teams.
- Monitor PMCM compliance with commercial procedures, BOQ structures, measurement rules, and variation workflows.
- Maintain audit-ready documentation, logs, and registers for BOQs, variations, and quantities.
- Flag risks arising from quantity deviations, design inconsistencies, or contractor claims.
- Work closely with PMCM commercial teams to ensure consistency, quality, and timely submission of commercial deliverables.
- Provide commercial and quantity analysis for internal management, cost controls, and client reporting.
- Participate in commercial meetings with PMCMs, contractors, and the Client, presenting QS analysis as required.
What Required Skills You'll Bring;
- Degree in Quantity Surveying or Civil Engineering.
- 15+ years of QS experience, ideally on major infrastructure or roads/highway programs.
- Strong knowledge of pre-contract and post-contract QS practices, including BOQ development, remeasurement, variations, and claims.
