Quantity Surveyor - 20430
RemoteBermuda
Job Summary
Measure full quantities from drawings and specifications to British/RICS standards, producing accurate bills of quantities and competitive cost estimates for residential and commercial projects. Build rates from first principles, accounting for Bermuda-specific material importation and logistics, while preparing tender submissions that balance competitiveness with margin safety. Independently set up estimating software, establish pricing templates, and manage supplier enquiries to ensure precise, end-to-end output. This role requires 6+ years of experience and fluency in SMM/NRM standards. As the first in-house quantity surveyor, you will own the entire pricing function, directly shaping project wins and profitability.
Required Qualifications
- Degree or diploma in Quantity Surveying, Construction Economics, or a related field
- Minimum 6 years of quantity surveying experience with a contractor, developer, or consultancy, including work owned without supervision
- Strong track record in measurement and estimating — able to take a set of drawings and produce a full, priced bill of quantities independently
- Fluent working knowledge of British / RICS measurement standards (SMM / NRM)
- Proficiency in industry-standard takeoff and estimating software — you bring your own toolkit, as the company does not currently run any
- Excellent written and spoken English
- Genuinely self-directed: able to run the pricing function as the sole QS, without a senior QS to check the work
Desired Qualifications
- Professional registration or working toward it (MRICS, SACQSP, or equivalent)
- Experience on UK, Caribbean, Bermudian, or other British-standard projects
- Experience as a sole or lead QS, or setting up an estimating function from scratch
- Working knowledge of tools such as CostX, Bluebeam Revu, PlanSwift, CCS Candy, or Cubicost
- Exposure to both residential and commercial project types
