Quantity Surveyor - 20430

• Measure full, detailed quantities from drawings and specifications to British / RICS standards (SMM / NRM)
• Produce accurate bills of quantities and measured works for pricing

• Build up rates and prices from first principles — labor, materials, plant, and subcontractor costs
• Prepare detailed, competitive cost estimates and budgets for residential and commercial projects
• Account for Bermuda-specific cost factors such as material importation, shipping, and logistics

• Price tenders and prepare submissions that are both competitive and margin-safe
• Advise the management team on pricing strategy, risks, and value-engineering opportunities

• Prepare enquiries to suppliers and subcontractors to obtain current pricing
• Analyze and compare quotations and fold them into estimates

• Recommend, set up, and run the estimating and takeoff software the company adopts
• Establish repeatable estimating templates and a consistent pricing approach

• Degree or diploma in Quantity Surveying, Construction Economics, or a related field
• Minimum 6 years of quantity surveying experience with a contractor, developer, or consultancy, including work owned without supervision
• Strong track record in measurement and estimating — able to take a set of drawings and produce a full, priced bill of quantities independently
• Fluent working knowledge of British / RICS measurement standards (SMM / NRM)
• Proficiency in industry-standard takeoff and estimating software — you bring your own toolkit, as the company does not currently run any
• Excellent written and spoken English
• Genuinely self-directed: able to run the pricing function as the sole QS, without a senior QS to check the work

• Professional registration or working toward it (MRICS, SACQSP, or equivalent)
• Experience on UK, Caribbean, Bermudian, or other British-standard projects
• Experience as a sole or lead QS, or setting up an estimating function from scratch
• Working knowledge of tools such as CostX, Bluebeam Revu, PlanSwift, CCS Candy, or Cubicost
• Exposure to both residential and commercial project types

You are:

• Meticulous with measurement — you know a small quantity error becomes a costly pricing error
• Confident owning pricing alone, without anyone double-checking your numbers
• Commercially sharp — you price to win the job and protect the margin at the same time
• Comfortable building structure where none exists yet, from templates to tool selection
• A clear communicator who can explain a price to a non-QS so they can make a decision from it
