Position Summary

We are seeking an experienced and commercially astute Quantity Surveyor with a strong foundation in Singapore's construction market and regulatory environment. The ideal candidate will possess at least 3 years of proven QS experience in Singapore, demonstrating expertise in accurate quantity take-off from drawings, preparation of competitive tenders and cost plans, and a sharp understanding of current market pricing. Crucially, you must understand how Singapore's local codes of practice and authority requirements translate into material specifications, workmanship standards, and ultimately, project costs.

  • Source, analyze, and compare quotations from suppliers and subcontractors, ensuring compliance with project specifications.
  • Provide detailed cost advice and value engineering options during the design phase.

Post-Contract & Contract Administration:

  • Administer contracts (e.g., SIA, REDAS, PSSCOC), including valuations, variations, and final account preparation.
  • Evaluate and certify progress claims from subcontractors and prepare payment certificates.
  • Manage and negotiate variation orders (VOs), ensuring all changes are properly documented and costed.
  • Conduct cost forecasting and regular financial reporting for projects.

Regulatory & Compliance Cost Integration:

  • Apply knowledge of Singapore's local codes of practice (e.g., BCA requirements, SS standards, SCDF Fire Code) to ensure cost plans and BOQs reflect all necessary compliant materials and methodologies.
  • Understand and factor in cost implications of local authority submission processes (e.g., BCA, URA, NEA) including permit fees, inspection requirements, and specialized materials.
  • Advise project teams on the cost impact of regulatory changes and authority feedback.

Procurement & Supplier Management:

  • Develop procurement schedules and strategies tailored to the Singapore market.
  • Build and maintain a robust network of local suppliers, subcontractors, and vendors.
  • Prepare and issue subcontract documents and purchase orders.

Qualifications & Experience

Mandatory Requirements:

  • Diploma or Bachelor’s degree in Quantity Surveying, Construction Economics, or a related field.
  • Minimum of 3 years of relevant Quantity Surveying experience in Singapore, with a portfolio of completed local projects.
  • Exceptional skill in performing quantity take-off from drawings across various project stages.
  • Demonstrable knowledge of current construction costs, market trends, and supplier landscape in Singapore.
  • Proficient with MS Excel for measurement and costing.
  • Solid understanding of standard forms of contract used in Singapore (SIA, PSSCOC).

Highly Preferred:

  • Hands-on experience in a civil & infrastructure, high-rise residential, commercial fit-out, MEP.
  • Direct experience liaising with contractors, consultants, and authorities on cost-related compliance matters.
  • Knowledge of BIM and its application in quantity extraction and cost management.

  • Meticulous, analytical, and possesses a strong numerical aptitude.
  • Commercially driven with excellent negotiation skills.
  • Proactive, organized, and able to manage multiple deadlines.
  • Strong communicator who can build effective relationships with internal teams, clients, and suppliers.

What We Offer

  • Competitive salary with clear progression path.
