Quantity Surveyor CSA

Position Overview

QS CSA will report directly to the QS head and play a key role in managing the overall cost control and quantity surveying activities for the infrastructure (civil), structure & architecture scope. This position involves close coordination with the Engineering team to ensure design completeness, collaboration with the QS Consultant for quantity take-off and cost estimation, and preparation of tender documents and evaluations. The QS CSA will also be responsible for contract overview, progress measurement, variation (SI/VO) assessment, and final account preparation. In addition, this role requires effective coordination with the QS MEP to prevent any overlap in scope or cost and to ensure that all works are properly covered.

Key Outcomes

• Accurate and transparent cost estimation and control for all CSA works within building construction or healthcare facilities.
• Effective coordination with Engineering and QS Consultant to ensure all designs are complete and quantifiable before cost estimation
• Smooth tender process with clear documentation and fair evaluation results
• Well-managed contract administration, including progress claim verification, variation (SI/VO) control, and final account settlement.
• Consistent cost control and reporting aligned with approved budgets and project targets.
