A well-established national property and construction consultancy is seeking a Senior Quantity Surveyor to join its Sydney team.
With more than 50 years of industry experience, the consultancy has built a strong reputation for delivering independent cost management and advisory services across both public and private sector projects. Offering a balanced portfolio of work and a collaborative team environment, this is an excellent opportunity to join a stable business with genuine long-term career prospects.
Role Overview
This role is suited to a Quantity Surveyor with 5 years' consultancy experience who is looking to take ownership of projects while continuing to develop their career within an established national consultancy.
You'll manage projects across a diverse range of sectors, providing cost management services from feasibility through to project completion. Working closely with clients and project teams, you'll play a key role in delivering commercial outcomes while mentoring junior team members and building long-term client relationships.

• Mentor and support junior Quantity Surveyors
• Manage multiple projects across both public and private sector clients
Skills & Experience

• Strong experience across pre-contract and post-contract services
• Excellent cost planning and financial management skills
• Strong communication and stakeholder management abilities
• Ability to manage projects independently while working collaboratively within a team
• AIQS membership or working towards accreditation is highly regarded
Why This Role Stands Out
• Diverse portfolio across public and private sector projects, offering excellent variety
• Hybrid working with up to two days working from home
• Clear career progression within an established national consultancy
• Collaborative and supportive team culture with strong mentorship
• Long-standing business with over 50 years of industry experience
• Opportunity to take ownership of projects while continuing to develop professionally
This is an excellent opportunity for a Senior Quantity Surveyor looking to broaden their project exposure while joining a respected consultancy that offers flexibility, stability and long-term career growth.
