Servicing residential and commercial projects across Auckland, the North Shore, and surrounding regions, the company specialises in comprehensive site development-including bulk earthworks, excavation, drainage infrastructure, site preparation, retaining systems, foundations, concrete works, and residential subdivisions. Backed by a rapidly expanding project pipeline, the company is committed to high-quality delivery, operational efficiency, and sustainable business growth.\nROLE OVERVIEW:\nWorking directly alongside the Company Director and Project Manager, the Quantity Surveyor / Civil Estimator will spearhead internal estimating and tendering operations. The primary objective is to take full ownership of quantity takeoffs, detailed Bills of Quantities (BOQs), cost schedules, and tender preparation.\nThis critical role is focused on driving turnaround efficiency, clearing enquiry backlogs, and transitioning externally subcontracted estimating functions directly in-house. It offers an exceptional long-term opportunity for a proactive professional with direct exposure to New Zealand or Australian construction standards to manage projects autonomously with high accuracy.\nRESPONSIBILITIES:\nQuantity Surveying & Cost Estimation:\nPrepare precise quantity takeoffs, BOQs, and first-principle cost estimates from structural, architectural, and civil drawings.\nAccurately calculate costs for plant, machinery, materials, direct labour, and specialist subcontractor packages.\nCompile and present competitive, professional tender packages and client quotations across residential and civil scopes.\nAudit project drawings and specifications to pinpoint scope ambiguities, discrepancies, constructability risks, and potential variations.\nMaintain clean, auditable estimating databases, rate libraries, and project documentation.\nCivil Earthworks & Siteworks Pricing:\nPrice diverse scopes including site clearing, excavation, cut/fill balancing, grading, levelling, and compaction.\nEstimate residential and commercial drainage packages, including stormwater and wastewater retention/detention infrastructure.\nCost underground service trenching, piling, drilling, foundations, and retaining wall installations.\nFormulate accurate estimates for concrete flatwork, paving, driveways, residential subdivisions, and exterior works.\nProject & Commercial Coordination:\nLiaise with the Director and Project Manager to align on commercial strategy, margins, and pipeline priorities.\nSolicit, review, and benchmark supplier and subcontractor bids to guarantee cost certainty.\nProactively follow up on RFIs, missing design documentation, and addenda.\nSupport post-tender negotiations, value engineering exercises, and initial client correspondence.\nRequirements\nProven track record as a Quantity Surveyor, Civil Estimator, or Construction Cost Planner.\nMinimum of 2 years of direct experience pricing projects within the Australian or New Zealand construction sectors.\nSolid technical proficiency across civil earthworks, drainage, infrastructure siteworks, and residential structures.\nDemonstrated ability to independently read, interpret, and mark up civil, architectural, and structural plans.\nHands-on proficiency with estimating software (Buildxact preferred, or proven agility with platforms like CostX, Cubit, or PlanSwift).\nAdvanced capabilities in Microsoft Excel for complex cost modelling.\nExceptional command of written and spoken English, paired with clear communication skills.\nAbility to work aligned with New Zealand Business Hours (NZST/NZDT).\nPREFERRED:\nDirect background working with New Zealand civil contractors and residential developers.\nWorking knowledge of New Zealand Standards (NZS 3910), regional consenting norms, council requirements, and current local supplier rates.\nPractical experience utilizing Bluebeam Revu for digital takeoffs.\nCombined experience across civil siteworks and residential superstructure builds.\nWhat You’ll Bring:\nEnd-to-End Ownership: A self-starter mindset capable of managing the estimating process from preliminary drawings through to final submission with minimal oversight.\nAnalytical Rigour: An eagle eye for detail that identifies omissions in plan sets, pricing hazards, and margin-optimisation opportunities.\nVelocity & Organization: The capability to manage multiple active tenders simultaneously without sacrificing numerical accuracy.\n Commercial Reliability: A dependable professional approach focused on punctuality, active communication, and long-term commitment to a close-knit, highly skilled construction leadership team.","description_format":"text","description_chars":4874,"description_truncated":false,"requirements":{"experience_years_min":null,"management_years_min":null,"team_size_min":null,"manages_managers":false,"education":{"level":"bachelor","optional":false},"security_clearance":false,"languages":[{"language":"English","level":"All
