COMPANY OVERVIEW

Our client is one of Australia’s most respected national quantity surveying and cost management consultancies, advising across the building, property and infrastructure sectors. Over many years the firm has built a reputation for technical depth, reliable advice and consistently strong project outcomes, earning the trust of an impressive and loyal client base.

What sets this business apart is the combination of scale and ambition. It has the resources, systems and market presence of a major national consultancy, yet retains an entrepreneurial appetite to invest, back its people and pursue well-judged growth opportunities rather than simply protect its position.

With a strong pipeline across the Sydney property market, the business is now looking to appoint an Associate Director to take responsibility for a significant portfolio of projects and clients. It is an opportunity to step into a high-profile role within a firm that genuinely invests in developing its future leaders.

WORKING ENVIRONMENT & PROJECTS A strong reputation opens doors, and the right business gives you the platform to walk through them. In this role you will lead an established portfolio of property and building projects, supported by an experienced, well-established Sydney team and the wider expertise of a national practice.

Projects span a broad range of commercial property and building work, with your involvement covering the full lifecycle, from feasibility and cost planning through procurement and contract administration to final account. You will be the senior point of contact for key clients, providing strategic cost advice that directly shapes investment and delivery decisions.

The culture is team-oriented, energetic and refreshingly low-ego. Senior leaders are approachable and invested in the success of their teams, and there is real scope to influence how the Sydney property practice grows, both through the clients you develop and the people you bring through.

RESPONSIBILITIES





- Lead cost management services across a portfolio of significant property and building projects
- Own and develop key client relationships, acting as a trusted adviser on strategic cost matters
- Oversee feasibility studies, cost planning and estimating through all stages of design
- Direct procurement, tender evaluation and contract administration, including post-contract cost control and reporting
- Manage commercial risk and ensure consistently high-quality advice and project outcomes
- Lead, mentor and develop Quantity Surveyors and Cost Managers within the Sydney team
- Identify opportunities to grow existing accounts and contribute to winning new work
- Work with senior leadership to support the continued growth of the Sydney property practice

WHAT YOU NEED

- Degree in Quantity Surveying, Construction Management or a related discipline
- Significant cost consultancy experience across commercial property and/or building projects
- Robust pre- and post-contract technical skills, supported by sound commercial judgement
- Proven ability to manage key client relationships and lead teams
- Experience of business development or account growth within a consultancy environment
- AIQS membership (or progress towards it) is highly regarded
- A transparent communicator who brings energy, approachability and ambition without ego

WHAT YOU’LL GET IN RETURN A package of circa $250K plus performance bonuses, depending on experience. More importantly, you will be joining a recognisable national platform with excellent clients and colleagues, and a clear pathway towards broader executive responsibility. This is a robust long-term move for someone who wants the credibility of a major consultancy combined with the opportunity to have real influence on its growth.
