  • Learn and progressively use BEAMS for estimating, take-offs, reporting, and budgeting.
  • Assist in preparing client-ready tender submissions.
  • Collaborate with senior estimators, QS staff, and project managers on pre-construction tasks.

Requirements

  • 3–5 years' experience in estimating or quantity surveying (residential/commercial).
  • A minimum of 10 years in the construction industry is highly preferred, as we value strong building-product knowledge and experience.
  • Strong knowledge of building products, materials, structural steel, and reinforcing.
  • Familiarity with BEAMS or any other QS software is preferred, but a willingness to become proficient in BEAMS is essential.
  • Experience with digital measurement tools (Bluebeam, AutoCAD, or similar).
  • Strong understanding of quantity surveying principles: measurements, rate build-ups, BoQs, cost planning.
  • Ability to interpret construction drawings and specifications.
  • High attention to detail, strong numerical accuracy, and excellent organisational skills.
  • Effective communication and teamwork skills.
