Quantity Surveyor (Civil)

Description

New Vision Engineering Consultant seeks an experienced Quantity Surveyor (Civil) with a minimum of ten years of expertise in managing cost estimation and control for building and infrastructure projects. This role demands a detail-oriented professional proficient in interpreting architectural, structural, and MEP drawings to provide accurate quantity takeoffs, cost planning, and budgeting. The successful candidate applies thorough knowledge of construction materials, specifications, and measurement standards to optimize project expenditure and ensure financial efficiency throughout the project lifecycle. The Quantity Surveyor focuses on preparation and verification of Bills of Quantities, interim valuations, payment certifications, and variation orders. The role also involves strong coordination and documentation skills to liaise with contractors and stakeholders effectively. Proficiency in MS Excel and AutoCAD is essential to execute site measurements, cost analysis, and tender evaluation. This position does not involve managing a team but requires independent handling of contractual and cost management responsibilities aligned with FIDIC contract administration guidelines.

Responsibilities

• Interpret and analyze architectural, structural, and MEP drawings to prepare accurate quantity takeoffs and Bills of Quantities (BOQs).
• Perform detailed cost estimation, rate analysis, and material quantity calculations to support project budgeting and forecasting.
• Prepare, verify, and certify interim payment claims, contractor bills, and payment certificates according to contract requirements.
• Administer variation orders, conduct extra-item rate analysis, and manage claims related to contract modifications and delays.
• Understand and apply FIDIC contract conditions, including notice compliance and entitlement to extension of time based on critical-path delay analysis.
• Coordinate and document all cost-related project activities, ensuring timely reporting to project management and relevant stakeholders.
• Conduct site measurements and validate quantities against approved drawings and project specifications.
• Contribute to tendering and bid evaluation processes by reviewing tender documents and aligning cost estimates with project scope.
• Maintain up-to-date records and cost control documentation using MS Excel and AutoCAD for effective project cost management.
