Build Your Future With a Growing Construction Group

An established turnkey construction group with a national footprint is seeking an experienced Estimator / Quantity Surveyor to join our team as a Commercial Partner

This is not a traditional salaried position. It is an opportunity for a commercially driven construction professional to leverage their expertise, network, and industry relationships while earning directly from the success of the projects they help secure and deliver.

Our business operates across commercial, industrial, agricultural, residential, coatings, waterproofing, concrete and infrastructure sectors, delivering projects from concept through to completion.

  • Supplier and subcontractor pricing procurement
  • Client and professional team relationship management

You will be supported by an experienced administration and operations team, allowing you to focus on commercial delivery and business growth.

Compensation Structure

This opportunity is designed for professionals who want to be rewarded based on performance and results.

You will earn 20% of the Gross Profit generated on each project you originate and manage commercially.

Gross Profit is calculated as:
Project Revenue less Direct Project Costs

Example:

  • Project Gross Profit: R500,000
  • Your Share (20%): R100,000

There is no earning ceiling. Your income is directly linked to the value you create and the projects you help secure and deliver.
