Description

Are you detail-oriented and passionate about civil construction?

We’re looking for a Quantity Take-off Technician to join our team and help us nail accurate measures and keep our projects on track for success.

This role focuses on quantity take-offs only - not pricing or estimating - so if you love working with drawings and specifications, this could be the perfect fit!

Key Responsibilities

  • Complete detailed quantity take-offs from construction drawings, specifications, and schedules.
  • Measure works across civil construction scopes, including (as applicable):
    • Earthworks and bulk excavation
    • Pavements, roading, and kerbs
    • Stormwater, wastewater, and water reticulation
    • Structures, concrete, and common services
    • Landscaping
  • Interpret drawings, specifications, and revisions to ensure measurement accuracy.
  • Maintain organised and traceable measurement worksheets and take-off files.
  • Clearly separate quantities by work type, location, and construction stage.
  • Respond to RFIs or clarifications related to measurement scope only.
  • Update quantities in response to drawing changes or addenda.
  • Collaborate closely with Quantity Surveyors, bid teams, and project teams to ensure quantities align with build methodology.

What We’re Looking For

  • Strong attention to detail and accuracy.
  • Ability to interpret construction drawings and specifications.
  • Familiarity with civil construction scopes and terminology.
  • Excellent organisational skills and ability to manage multiple updates.

The role can be based in either our Timaru or Christchurch offices.

Apply now and be part of a team that values precision and collaboration!
