Your new role
Client is a specialist consultancy based in Brisbane's inner north. They are a good quality, well-established firm, but still probably boutique in size. They offer a traditional PQS service to clients with a smaller but growing project management arm.
They are looking to hire a properly trained QS – ideally with experience in the PQS industry and an interest in learning some project management skills.
Your responsibilities
The QS will be working to provide a traditional PQS service, delivering cost planning, estimating, BoQ's, value management, audit services, cost modelling/analysis, and feasibility assessments. These services are provided to clients across broad sectors including education, aged care, retail, industrial, commercial, and aviation sectors.
The client would also like a candidate to develop their skills in construction project management from project planning right through to project handover and certification. The role will likely grow into a client-facing role fairly quickly, so strong stakeholder skills are essential.
What you'll need to succeed
Ideally, candidates will have a Quantity Surveying or Construction Management degree with some experience working for a professional QS firm providing consultancy services to clients. Candidates will also have a good understanding of the full construction lifecycle, possibly from time in a site-based role, providing a decent foundation for learning to deliver projects on behalf of asset owners.
Candidates must have good stakeholder skills and possess a positive, hardworking, and proactive personality. They should be able to influence stakeholders to help drive project deliverables.
What you'll get in return
The client is looking for an ASAP start for the suitable candidate. They are offering an interesting, challenging role in a quality business. Salary is negotiable based on experience, suggesting anywhere from 110k-120k for more junior levels through to 140-150k for more senior candidates (plus super) as a guide. The client is also offering the ability to transition into a broader PM/QS role.
