Job Description

 

About Our Client

GEDON™ is partnering with a highly respected cost and commercial advisory consultancy with a strong footprint across Australia’s major infrastructure market. The business is known for its technical capability, data-driven cost advice, and its ability to support complex infrastructure assets from early feasibility through to delivery and close-out.

With a strong pipeline across transport, utilities, energy and enabling works, this consultancy is trusted by a mix of government and private sector clients to provide robust estimating, cost planning and commercial insight across significant long-term programmes in Queensland.


What They Are Looking For

Due to continued project wins and sustained growth, our client is seeking an experienced Senior Quantity Surveyor to play a key role across major infrastructure projects in Brisbane and the wider region. This position suits a technically strong QS who enjoys working at the sharp end of cost planning, estimating and commercial problem-solving on complex civil assets.

You’ll work closely with senior leaders and project teams, taking ownership of CostX-based take-offs, detailed estimating, and cost reporting, while contributing to broader commercial strategy and client-facing delivery.


Why This Role Is Unique

This is a genuine opportunity to position yourself as a technical authority within infrastructure cost management, rather than a purely transactional QS. You’ll be exposed to complex, career-defining projects, have direct access to senior decision-makers, and influence cost outcomes at a strategic level. For the right person, this role offers a clear pathway into Associate-level and leadership positions as the team continues to expand.


Key Responsibilities

  • Leading detailed cost estimating and cost planning across major infrastructure projects

  • Delivering high-quality CostX take-offs, benchmarking and cost analysis

  • Supporting feasibility studies, optioneering and early-stage cost advice

  • Preparing and managing tender documentation and contractor evaluations

  • Providing commercial and cost risk advice to clients and project teams

  • Producing accurate cost reports, forecasts and cash flow analysis

  • Managing post-contract cost control, variations and change management where required

  • Building strong relationships with clients, consultants and delivery partners


Criteria

  • Proven experience as a Senior Quantity Surveyor within civil/infrastructure projects

  • Strong technical capability in CostX, with demonstrable cost estimating expertise

  • Background in sectors such as transport, utilities, energy, resources or major civils

  • Degree-qualified in Quantity Surveying, Construction Management or similar

  • Strong commercial acumen and confident client-facing communication

  • Consultancy or client-side experience preferred (but not essential)


What’s On Offer

  • Salary package up to $200,000, commensurate with experience

  • Exposure to major, high-profile infrastructure programmes in Queensland

  • Clear career development and progression within a growing team

  • Supportive, technically strong environment with access to senior leadership

  • Long-term stability backed by a strong pipeline of work
