Client is a leading construction company in Africa who are charged with the delivery of a range of projects across Nigeria and Ghana. They are seeking a Managing Quantity Surveyor to join them on a permanent basis.

You will work within a Project organisation structure working closely with a Team providing a range of Quantity Surveying duties from project inception through to completion.

Our client is currently working in various parts of Nigeria, so whilst you will be based in Lagos, it will still be expected of you to travel between various projects, as well as between Nigeria and Ghana occasionally.

Requirements

* 10-15yrs + of previous experience within civil engineering projects.
* Good contractual knowledge, as you will be responsible for all contractual aspects of the various projects such as Contract negotiation, drafting of subcontractor appointments, as well as claim procedures.

* Accurate with good attention to detail and highly organised.
* A good negotiator and communicator.
