We are looking for a Senior Quantity Surveyor & Estimator with deep, hands-on precast concrete experience someone who understands not just general civil QS practice but the specific cost structures, material flows, production efficiencies, and contractual dynamics of precast manufacturing and project execution.

This is a senior, high-ownership role. You will lead all cost management, estimation, tendering, and commercial functions across active consulting and project engagements. You will work closely with the technical and project management teams, client-facing leadership, and external contractors ensuring projects are commercially sound from bid stage through final account.

The ideal candidate has operated in a QS or commercial management capacity on precast-heavy projects and can hit the ground running with minimal handholding.

Key Responsibilities

1.Estimation & Cost Planning

•Prepare detailed Bills of Quantities (BOQ), cost estimates, and budgets for precast concrete projects — including hollow core slabs, precast walls, columns, beams, and boundary wall systems

•Develop and maintain precast-specific rate libraries and productivity benchmarks for accurate project costing

•Conduct feasibility stage cost assessments for recent precast factory setups and project consultancy engagements

•Analyse design drawings, structural layouts, and shop drawings to extract accurate material and labour quantities

2. Tendering & Contract Management

•Lead preparation and submission of tenders, proposals, and commercial bids for consulting and project execution contracts

•Review and negotiate contract terms, pricing schedules, and scope definitions with clients and subcontractors

•Manage subcontractor procurement floating enquiries, evaluating quotes, and finalising agreements

•Ensure all contracts are commercially protective and aligned with project scope and delivery timelines

- Project Cost Control & Monitoring





•Track project costs against approved budgets throughout execution flagging variances early and recommending corrective action

•Prepare and submit monthly cost reports, earned value analyses, and cash flow forecasts to project and leadership teams

•Monitor material procurement costs — precast moulds, concrete mixes, reinforcement steel, prestressing strands, and ancillary hardware

•Control and reconcile labour costs across site and factory operations, including third-party manpower contracts

4.Billing, Claims & Final Accounts

•Prepare and certify client invoices, progress billings, and running account bills in line with contract milestones

•Manage variation orders and change notices — pricing, negotiating, and securing approvals in a timely manner

•Prepare and submit contractual claims including extension of time, loss and expense, and escalation claims where applicable

•Close out project final accounts with accuracy, ensuring all commercial entitlements are captured

5. Vendor & Subcontractor Management

•Develop and maintain a vetted vendor and subcontractor database relevant to precast construction

•Evaluate supplier quotations for precast materials, plant, equipment, and specialist services

•Coordinate with procurement and operations teams to ensure timely material availability without cost overruns

- Reporting & Commercial Documentation

•Maintain comprehensive commercial records — contracts, correspondence, variation logs, and cost files — audit-ready at all times

•

Key Skills & Experience

Experience & Education

•5–6 years of quantity surveying experience in civil and structural construction

•Minimum 3 years of direct, hands-on QS experience on precast concrete projects — this is non-negotiable

•Demonstrated experience in precast factory setups, precast infrastructure projects, or precast product manufacturing environments strongly preferred

•Exposure to international projects (Middle East, Africa, or Southeast Asia) is a significant advantage

•B.E. / B.Tech in Civil Engineering; PG Diploma in Quantity Surveying, Construction Management, or equivalent is preferred
