About the Role

Quantity Surveyor / Estimator (Auckland – Office Based)

We are seeking a capable and detail-oriented Quantity Surveyor (Estimator) to join our Auckland office. This role is focused on tendering, cost planning, and BOQ preparation across residential and commercial construction projects. You will play a key role in ensuring accurate pricing, cost control, and commercial clarity at the pre-construction stage.

Requirements

  • Proven experience in New Zealand construction tendering and estimation

  • Strong understanding of local construction methods, suppliers, and pricing

  • Demonstrated ability to produce accurate and well-structured BOQs

  • High proficiency in Excel (essential); experience with estimation software is a plus

  • Strong analytical thinking with attention to detail

  • Ability to work independently and manage deadlines under pressure

  • Clear communication and ability to work with designers, contractors, and suppliers


Key Responsibilities

  • Prepare detailed Bills of Quantities (BOQ) from drawings and specifications

  • Carry out tender pricing, cost planning, and cost analysis

  • Obtain and evaluate supplier and subcontractor quotations

  • Build and maintain a reliable supplier/subcontractor network

  • Identify cost risks, gaps, and inconsistencies in tender documents

  • Assist in developing pricing strategies and value engineering options

  • Support project teams with cost reporting and budget tracking


What We Value (Important)
  • Accuracy over speed — but capable of both

  • Ability to think commercially, not just measure quantities

  • Ownership mindset — someone who takes responsibility for numbers

  • Practical understanding of how drawings translate into real construction


What You’ll Gain
  • Exposure to a wide range of design & build projects

  • Hands-on involvement in real tendering and cost decisions

  • Opportunity to work closely with a multidisciplinary team

  • A role with real impact on project outcomes
