What You Will Handle

The Quantity Surveyor will be responsible for providing cost and measurement support throughout the construction process. Accuracy is particularly important because project decisions can depend on reliable estimates, valuations and cost reports.

Estimating and Project Budgets

The role includes preparing detailed construction cost estimates and project budgets.

This involves assessing:

• Building materials and quantities
• Labour requirements
• Plant and equipment
• Subcontractor costs
• Material schedules
• Other project-related expenditure

The successful candidate will need to understand construction methods and current cost considerations well enough to produce practical and reliable estimates.

Measuring Work and Preparing Valuations

Another important part of the position is measuring construction work completed on site.

Responsibilities include:

• Measuring completed work for progress payments.
• Preparing quantity calculations.
• Supporting the preparation of final accounts.
• Reviewing work quantities against project requirements.
• Ensuring measurements and valuations are properly documented.

This requires careful attention to detail and a good understanding of construction drawings, specifications and site activities.

Reviewing Contractor and Supplier Claims

The Quantity Surveyor will also assess claims submitted by contractors, subcontractors and suppliers.

The work involves checking supporting information, validating quantities and costs, and identifying discrepancies before recommendations are made to the project team.

Experience dealing with construction claims and payment valuations would therefore be useful for applicants targeting this role.

Cost Control and Forecasting

Keeping construction expenditure under control is another core responsibility.

The successful candidate will participate in:

• Project cost monitoring.
• Cost forecasting.
• Financial reporting to project management.
• Identifying potential cost risks.
• Identifying opportunities to improve cost efficiency.
• Providing recommendations when cost issues arise.

Maintaining accurate cost records will help the project team understand how actual expenditure compares with approved budgets.

Tendering, Contracts and Variations

The role also provides exposure to commercial and contractual aspects of construction projects.

Duties include assisting with:

• Tender documentation.
• Contract negotiations.
• Change orders and variations.
• Cost-related technical advice.
• Contract and project documentation.

Candidates should therefore have a working understanding of construction contracts, relevant regulations and accepted industry practices.

Working with the Project Team

Quantity surveying is closely connected to other areas of construction. The successful candidate will work with project managers and other members of the project team to ensure cost information is available when decisions need to be made.

The position also requires compliance with company procedures, project requirements and applicable safety standards.

Qualifications and Experience

Applicants should have:

• A Bachelor’s degree in Quantity Surveying, Construction Management or a related field.
• At least five years of experience working as a Quantity Surveyor in the construction industry.
• Strong analytical and problem-solving skills.
• Excellent attention to detail.
• Good communication and interpersonal skills.
• Knowledge of construction materials and building methods.
• Understanding of construction cost estimation techniques.
• Familiarity with construction contracts, regulations and industry standards.
• The ability to work under pressure and meet project deadlines.

What to Highlight in Your CV

For an experienced Quantity Surveyor position, your CV should make your practical project experience easy to identify.

Where applicable, highlight experience with:

• Construction cost estimating
• Bills of quantities and quantity measurement
• Interim valuations
• Final accounts
• Contractor and subcontractor claims
• Cost forecasting
• Tender documentation
• Contract administration
• Variations and change orders
• Cost control and reporting
• Construction materials and procurement
• Working with project management teams

If you can demonstrate the type and scale of projects you have worked on, that can also help recruiters understand the relevance of your experience.

This is a full-time, onsite position in Abuja.
