Quantity Surveyor (1–5 Years Experience) – CostMEI

Brisbane, QLD - 200 Adelaide Street Brisbane CBD "Flexible / Hybrid"

Full-time | Competitive Salary | Growing Construction Consultancy


Background

COSTMEI APAC is a company where our most senior staff are actively involved in the day-to-day delivery to our clients. Our leaders have a deep understanding of every aspect of our clients' requirements and mentor and support our technical staff. We all work as a team to ensure that skills and knowledge are shared to support the best outcomes for our clients every time.

Our leaders each have over 25 years of experience and are considered experts in their chosen fields.


COSTMEI Services

We offer cost management, estimating, cost planning, project controls, and commercial management services to the renewable, infrastructure (road, rail, and ports), and resources industries.

We have offices in Australia, the Philippines, and Indonesia, and are actively expanding our presence across the APAC region.


About the Role

We are currently seeking Quantity Surveyors located in Brisbane with experience or an interest in Mechanical, Civil, Structural, and Electrical projects.

Ideal candidates will have a strong grasp of cost and estimating principles, combined with the right attitude to take on complex and challenging roles. At CostMEI, a positive attitude and willingness to learn are valued just as highly as experience.

As a Quantity Surveyor, you will be responsible for conducting cost planning and estimation across all stages of project development — from early budgeting with minimal information through to contract negotiation and variation assessment.

You'll work across a variety of projects, preparing detailed cost estimates, bills of quantities, and tender submissions, while collaborating closely with senior team members and clients.


We'd Love to Hear From You If You Have:
  • 1–5 years' experience in quantity surveying or cost management (consultancy or contractor background welcome)
  • Strong technical knowledge in mechanical, civil, structural, or electrical disciplines
  • A degree or diploma in Quantity Surveying, Construction Management, or Engineering
  • Proficiency in CostX, Buildsoft, Expert Estimator, Candy or similar software
  • Ability to work collaboratively, seeking and providing support within a team environment
  • A proactive mindset and ability to find solutions even when information is limited
  • Knowledge of the construction market, clients, suppliers, and contractors
  • Eligibility to work in Australia, with flexibility for occasional travel

About You

You'll thrive in this role if you:

  • Enjoy problem-solving and working on complex, multidisciplinary projects
  • Have strong analytical and communication skills
  • Take pride in delivering accurate, meaningful cost advice
  • Want to learn from some of the most experienced professionals in the industry
  • Are motivated to grow your career within a supportive, expanding consultancy

What We Offer
  • Competitive salary based on experience (negotiable for the right person)
  • Mentorship from highly experienced leaders
  • Exposure to diverse projects and industries
  • Opportunities for travel and professional development
  • Flexible working arrangements
  • A collaborative, down-to-earth team culture

How to Apply

If you're ready to take the next step in your career and join a consultancy that values both technical skill and personal growth, we'd love to hear from you.
