Quantity Surveyor, Gibraltar (GIB)

Quantity Surveyor / Senior Quantity Surveyor

Gibraltar | £40-65k | full-time permanent 

If you’re looking for a new role where your commute could involve views of the Mediterranean rather than the M1, this is the right opportunity for you.

Our client is a well-established building and civil engineering contractor delivering a diverse portfolio of projects across Gibraltar. With a strong order book and a reputation for delivering quality schemes, they're looking for an experienced Quantity Surveyor or Senior Quantity Surveyor who can keep projects commercially healthy, challenge the right things, and occasionally explain to operational teams why "just one small change" is never actually one small change.

What's on offer?

• £40-65k salary depending on experience (intermediate: £40-50k, senior: £50-65k) + bonus

• A varied workload covering both building and civil engineering projects

• Genuine autonomy and the opportunity to influence commercial decisions

• Clear progression opportunities within a growing and successful contractor

• The chance to live and work in Gibraltar (or in Andalusia, if you hold an EU passport), with over 300 days of sunshine a year

    (*The weather cannot be guaranteed. The spreadsheets can.)

What you’ll be doing:

• Managing the commercial performance of construction and civil engineering projects from procurement through to final account

• Preparing and negotiating subcontract packages and managing subcontractor accounts

• Producing accurate cost reports, forecasts and CVRs

• Managing client valuations, applications for payment, variations and change control

• Identifying and mitigating commercial risks whilst maximising project profitability

• Supporting project teams with contractual and commercial advice throughout the project lifecycle

• Building strong working relationships with clients, consultants, subcontractors and operational teams

What you'll need:

• Experience as a Quantity Surveyor within a building, civil engineering or main contracting environment

• Strong knowledge of cost management, valuations, variations and final accounts

• A good understanding of standard forms of construction contract

• Excellent commercial awareness and negotiation skills

• Right to live and work in Gibraltar

• Fluent English; and if you hablas a bit of español that would be useful
