A nationally recognised property and infrastructure advisory consultancy is seeking an experienced Quantity Surveyor for a contract opportunity within its property team.

Working across a diverse portfolio of commercial, education, health, government and mixed‑use developments, you'll join an integrated advisory environment alongside experienced Quantity Surveyors, Project Managers and property professionals.

This is an opportunity to step into an established team, contribute immediately across active projects and gain exposure to a leading Australian consultancy without the commitment of a permanent move.

Role Overview This role is suited to a consultancy‑side Quantity Surveyor who can confidently step into active projects and support the team across both pre‑contract and post‑contract services.

You will provide cost management support across the project lifecycle, working on cost planning, procurement, progress claims, variations and commercial reporting while liaising directly with clients, consultants and contractors.

As a contract member of the team, you will be trusted to manage your own workload and contribute from the outset, while having the support of an experienced multidisciplinary team around you.

Key Responsibilities

Prepare cost plans, estimates and feasibility studies across property projects

Support procurement, tendering and tender analysis

Prepare cost reports and provide ongoing commercial advice

Assess progress claims, variations and project costs during construction

Support contract administration and final account activities

Monitor project budgets, risks and commercial outcomes





Liaise with clients, consultants and contractors throughout project delivery

Work alongside Quantity Surveyors and Project Managers across active projects

Skills & Experience

Previous Quantity Surveying experience within a cost consultancy environment

Strong understanding of pre‑contract and post‑contract cost management

Experience across property projects such as commercial, education, health, government or mixed‑use developments

Strong cost planning, reporting and commercial capability

Confident client‑facing communication and stakeholder management skills

Ability to step into active projects and work with a high level of autonomy

Degree qualified in Quantity Surveying or a related discipline

Why This Role Stands Out

Contract opportunity with a nationally recognised Australian advisory consultancy

Step straight into an established pipeline of active property projects

Work across commercial, education, health, government and mixed‑use developments

Gain exposure to an integrated advisory model alongside both Quantity Surveyors and Project Managers

Work across the full project lifecycle rather than being limited to one stage of delivery

Flexible working arrangements within an experienced and collaborative team

Ideal for an experienced QS looking for their next contract without sacrificing the quality or variety of projects

This is an excellent opportunity for a Quantity Surveyor looking for a contract role that offers robust project exposure, autonomy and the opportunity to work within an established multidisciplinary consultancy.
