With a focus on providing on-demand energy and extensive storage capacity, Snowy 2.0 serves as a cornerstone for the future generations in the nation's transition towards a low-carbon emissions future.

The Role

As the Senior Quantity Surveyor, you'll be responsible for overseeing the commercial delivery of the Snowy 2.0 project. This includes providing expert commercial support to the project team, maintaining accurate commercial records, and ensuring compliance with all contractual requirements—all while upholding Snowy Hydro's ethics and values. 

This position is based in Cooma, and candidates are encouraged to relocate with Snowy Hydro offering a comprehensive relocation package. Alternatively, a FIFO 5:2 roster to Cooma is available for the right candidate.

As a key member of the commercial team, you'll play a critical role in driving value, managing risk, and ensuring strong financial outcomes across all aspects of the project. Your responsibilities will include:

  • Procurement & Commercial Negotiation
    Negotiate with contractors for best-value outcomes while building strong relationships. Assess contract risks, review rates and quantities, prepare Bills of Quantities (ideally RMS/TfNSW), and identify cost-saving opportunities through value engineering.

  • Reporting & Forecasting
    Prepare timely weekly and monthly commercial reports. Provide clear forecasts for final accounts and cash flow, and support overall commercial strategy with the project team.

  • Agreement of Variations, Claims & Payments
    Manage and negotiate claims, variations, and payments on time. Assess and agree on BoQ rates and final accounts to protect value and reduce risk.

  • Site Surveillance & Progress Monitoring
    Carry out regular site checks, keep detailed records, and review contractor progress to ensure it meets contract requirements and timelines.

  • Contract Administration & Correspondence
    Prepare and manage clear, accurate contractual correspondence that meets project and legal requirements.

You'll Bring To The Team

You'll have proven experience in commercial management within large-scale civil engineering or infrastructure projects, ideally in renewable energy or hydroelectric sectors. Familiarity with EPC and remeasurement contracts, as well as current Construction Law, is essential. Experience negotiating and managing subcontractor procurement, claims, variations, and payments on complex projects is highly valued. You should be skilled in monthly commercial reporting, earned value analysis, and financial forecasting. Strong communication and stakeholder management skills are critical, along with the ability to work collaboratively within a multidisciplinary team.
