Quantity Surveyor – Structural Steel

Quantity Surveyor – Structural Steel 

A growing structural steel contractor is looking to appoint an experienced Quantity Surveyor to support a strong pipeline of major projects across SA, VIC and NSW.

This is a key, variations-focused role within the business, created to bring dedicated commercial oversight to a high volume of live projects nationwide. Currently, variations are being handled by estimators, however there is a clear gap for an experienced QS to take ownership and drive consistency across the board.

The role
You will work closely with estimators, project teams and senior leadership, with a primary focus on managing variations, cost control and commercial performance across multiple projects. You will have exposure to large-scale structural steel packages across infrastructure, transport, aviation and defence projects.

Key responsibilities

• Take ownership of variations management across multiple projects nationally
• Prepare, assess and negotiate variations, progress claims and final accounts
• Monitor project costs, budgets, forecasts and cash flow
• Review contracts and identify commercial risks and opportunities
• Support procurement and subcontractor management processes
• Work closely with estimating, delivery and manufacturing teams
• Contribute to overall commercial strategy across the project portfolio

What we’re looking for

• Proven experience as a Quantity Surveyor or Contract Administrator
• Strong structural steel experience, ideally on large-scale projects
• Background working for a contractor or consultancy environment (both considered)
• Experience working with subcontractors and managing downstream packages
• Strong understanding of variations, claims and contract commercialisation
• Ability to manage multiple stakeholders and projects simultaneously
• Commercially sharp, organised and proactive

Why consider it

• Rare opportunity to step into a dedicated QS/variations role within structural steel
• Strong pipeline of national projects across multiple sectors
• Opportunity to play a key role in improving commercial processes within the business
• Adelaide-based role with exposure to major interstate projects
• In the current Adelaide market, QS professionals with genuine structural steel experience are limited, making this a high-impact opportunity
