Estimator / Quantity Surveyor

Contract role working from home, on site or a combination. This niche construction company has made a strong entry into the Queenstown market. Halfway through a high-end apartment project, they’re well-positioned for continued growth in the region. Their experienced, cohesive site-based team is relaxed, supportive, and genuinely committed to delivering quality work in a safe, collaborative, and team-focused environment.

Work from Home, On Site, or a Mix
This is an initial 6-month contract role with flexible working arrangements. You can work from the site office, from home, or a mix of both with weekly site visits. As the workload ramps up, your focus will be on managing the busy day-to-day QS tasks, wherever you work from.

The Role

  • Manage contract administration across multiple trades, including variations, payment claims, and monthly reporting.
  • Support estimating and tendering of new work as projects progress.
  • Assist the business in improving commercial systems and processes.

The Ideal Candidate

  • Quantity Surveying qualification.
  • Several years’ experience as a QS in New Zealand.
  • Strong knowledge of NZ contracts and construction methods.
  • Proficient in Excel and Word; experience with Procore or CostX is a plus.
  • Self-motivated and able to work autonomously.
  • Excellent communication skills.
  • Down-to-earth, relaxed personality.

Why This Role is Great
This is a brilliant opportunity to take on meaningful work on exciting projects while creating the lifestyle you want. The role will be busy, requiring a commercially astute QS to ensure project success, but it’s flexible enough to fit around your life—whether that’s taking the kids to school, hitting 9 holes of golf, or brushing up your mountain biking skills.
