Advice for Candidates

Even if you have internship or project-based experience, make sure your resume highlights both your academic background and real-world experience. In addition to technical proficiency, employers in the mining and infrastructure industries are looking for applicants who can adjust to the demands of large-scale sites. Emphasize your knowledge of CCS Candy, your proficiency with Excel, and any prior experience preparing BOQs or managing contracts. To show flexibility, if you're not based in Kathu, mention that you're willing to work remotely.


Suggestions for Novice Quantity Surveyors

Your greatest assets as a Junior QS will be accuracy and documentation. As the foundation of efficient cost control and project reporting, make it a habit to keep thorough records of everything from site measurements to cost tracking. You can improve your comprehension of contracts, valuations, and client interactions by actively seeking mentorship from senior QSs. Maintaining organization and composure under pressure will make you stand out in the high-pressure world of mining projects.


๐Ÿ“ This position will be based in Kathu. 

If you are not based there, you must be comfortable working away from home.
