Job Description

Position : Quantity Surveyor / Estimator - Remote

Salary : Php. 55,000-60,000

Working Hours : NZ Business Hours

Requirements

The company is an established Christchurch-based foundation specialist led by an owner with over 25 years of construction experience, originally qualified as a carpenter. The business specializes in ribraft foundations across all Canterbury land classes (TC1 to TC3), while also delivering insulated slabs, new home foundations, earthworks, and site preparation. A single dedicated crew manages the entire build initiation, delivering finished foundations ready for framing, with every project signed off by a Licensed Building Practitioner.

Estimating & Quoting (Primary Focus)

  • Review architectural, structural and engineering drawings for residential foundations and prepare accurate quantity take-offs
  • Measure and price the elements of each job, including concrete, reinforcing steel and mesh, insulation or pods, formwork, earthworks and hardfill, and plumbing provisions
  • Prepare clear, competitive quotes using pricing
  • Keep up with high quote volumes, turning plans around quickly and following up quotes that haven't been accepted
  • Raise questions with team and the builder on missing information, unclear drawings or risks, rather than guessing

Pricing, Suppliers & Job Costing

  • Gather and compare supplier and subcontractor prices, and keep the pricing database up to date
  • Build and maintain estimating spreadsheets and templates, so quotes are consistent and reusable
  • Support job costing by handing accepted quotes across to the operations side with complete scope details

Systems & Admin

  • Keep quotes, drawings and job files organised in OneDrive and in the construction management platform as it is rolled out (Obstra)
  • Help set up and document the quoting process so the estimating function runs smoothly as volume grows
  • Handle related admin as needed, with potential to take on lead generation and supplier and subcontractor liaison over time
  • Quick to learn, able to pick up pricing and systems within days
  • Self-directed and reliable under a high workload, with a habit of double-checking numbers
  • Proactive in flagging issues and asking the right questions early
  • Organised and methodical, keeping files and quotes easy to find
  • Committed to a long-term role that can grow with the business
