  • Accurate with numbers and able to back up every figure you certify
  • At least 3 years of QS work in private practice or with a contractor
  • You know the Standard System of Measuring Building Work
  • Understanding of JBCC Principal Building Agreement clauses

  • Honours degree in Quantity Surveying

What you get

  • Hybrid days in the office and on site

How to apply
