Who are we?
At Multiplex, we are changing skylines across the globe. As a pioneering construction business, we design and build complex, iconic and sustainable structures that add to the economic, cultural and community life in the areas we operate. We've got the boldness to take on projects others say can't be done. We have the entrepreneurial spirit to challenge preconceived ideas. And we've got the determination to unlock and deliver value where others cannot see it.
What is the overall job?
As a key member of the Package Team, the Quantity Surveyor will be an experienced professional that works with the Package Manager and all members of the Package Team, responsible for the commercial performance and administration of their packages. The QS will have strong technical knowledge of their packages (i.e., in design and procurement) and be able to apply that to commercial considerations, as well as provide support, mentoring and training to less experienced commercial staff on the project.
In accordance with Multiplex's policies, systems and procedures, the QS will continually and critically monitor and manage the commercial aspects of their packages and assist the Package Team in delivering strategies and actions to mitigate commercial risk and protect profit margins. The QS will also be responsible for accurate and timely submission of commercial information to the Commercial Team to meet project reporting requirements. Furthermore, the QS will work collaboratively with the Package Team to find, develop and manage the process of risk and opportunities through value engineering, programme logic and procurement decisions amongst other things to enhance package profitability.
