Quantity Surveyor - UAE National

Why This Role Matters

This role is highly supportive in ensuring accuracy, coordination and consistency throughout the tendering and pre-contract process. By carefully reviewing tender documents, preparing precise quantity take-offs, assisting with post-tender clarifications and maintaining well-organised documentation, it helps reduce risks, avoid costly discrepancies and ensure alignment between tender submissions and contract requirements. It also strengthens collaboration between estimators, engineers and project teams, contributing to smoother project transitions and better overall project outcomes.

Review and analyse all tender documents including drawings, specifications, and contractual requirements to ensure full understanding and compliance. Verify the completeness of received documents, prepare a comprehensive document index, and raise queries for any missing information in coordination with the Estimator. Identify discrepancies, scope gaps and uncertainties, consulting with the Estimator to ensure clarity and alignment. Maintain a strong working knowledge of overall project specifications and requirements.

Prepare Bills of Quantities (BoQ) where required and submit for Estimator review and validation. Perform accurate quantity take‑offs based on tender drawings, 3D models and the applicable contract type (re‑measured, lump sum, EPC, etc.). Coordinate with draftspersons to produce marked‑up drawings to support detailed quantity take‑offs. Provide reliable quantity data to materials engineers and submission engineers throughout the tender process.

Follow up on post‑tender queries, clarifications and correspondence, providing necessary inputs to the Estimator. Review contract documents upon project award to ensure alignment with tender‑stage submissions and related communications. Support Estimators in preparing for project award kick‑off meetings. Assist in addressing quantity‑related queries raised by the project site team.

Organise and upload quantity take‑off workbooks, cost sheets and comparison sheets into the designated system to ensure proper documentation, traceability and knowledge retention.
