## Qualifications - Degree in Quantity Surveying, Construction Economics, Construction Management, or a related field. - Proficiency in cost management and quantity take-off software such as CostX or Bluebeam, and advanced Microsoft Excel skills. - Good understanding of electrical and/or mechanical engineering sufficient to interpret drawings, specifications, and technical scopes. - Knowledge of construction contract forms and procedures. - Strong cost evaluation skills including cost planning, valuations, variations, and final accounts. - Experience managing suppliers and vendors, including obtaining quotations, negotiation, and commercial evaluation. - Proven record of preparing accurate BoQs from a broad scope. - Hands-on experience with mechanical and electrical fit-out contracts.

## Preferred Skills - Engineering degree in Electrical or Mechanical Engineering. - Experience working on data centres or other Tier-rated mission-critical facilities. - Professional registration as a quantity surveyor (e.g., BORAQS) and membership in professional bodies such as IQSK or RICS.

## Experience - Minimum of 5 years of quantity surveying or commercial management experience on construction projects involving heavy electrical and mechanical installations. - Relevant sectors include data centres, telecommunications infrastructure, industrial buildings, pharmaceutical facilities, or oil and gas projects. - Experience with residential and warehouse-type projects is not applicable.

## Core Competencies - Commercial Acumen: Protects project value through disciplined cost planning, evaluation, and control. - Technical Understanding: Reads electrical and mechanical scopes with an engineer’s perspective. - Measurement Accuracy: Produces BoQs and valuations that withstand scrutiny. - Negotiation: Secures sound prices and terms from suppliers and contractors. - Analytical Rigour: Identifies cost trends early and recommends corrective actions. - Collaboration: Works openly and effectively with engineers, site teams, and contractors.
