  • Analyse variances between planned and actual quantities and provide insights to support corrective actions and commercial decisions
  • Contribute to project controls reporting by integrating quantity, cost, and progress data into standard reporting deliverables
  • Interpret internal and external project issues, applying technical expertise to develop practical solutions and best practices
  • Coordinate with cross-functional stakeholders including engineering, planning, and commercial teams to ensure data consistency and alignment
  • Provide guidance to less experienced team members and support prioritisation of workload across project deliverables
  • Support compliance with company policies, procedures, and project governance frameworks in all quantity surveying activities
