Project QS / Programmer

Project QS / Planner

Purpose of the role

Own the programme and the cost of every project. Turn approved drawings into a timeline and a budget, keep both live week to week, and drive procurement off a look-ahead so buying is planned rather than reactive. This is the role that makes projects finish on time and deliver the margin they were sold at.

Key responsibilities

• Taking ownership of project timeline and budget achievement.
• Build and maintain a live programme for every project — start, key milestones, handover date — updated weekly.
• Produce a 3–4 week look-ahead of materials and labour for each project, and hand it to procurement.
• Prepare a budget at the start of each project and track actual cost against it as the job runs.
• Keep a variation log so extras and scope changes are captured and charged to the client.
• Prepare and run the weekly project meeting off a single all-projects sheet.
• Flag slippage and cost overruns early, with the recovery options, to the Management.
• Spend part of each week on site so the numbers reflect reality, not stale drawings.

Requirements

• Quantity surveying qualification or equivalent proven experience.
• 5–8 years in interiors / joinery / fit-out — not pure civil construction.
• Comfortable both costing at a desk and walking a site — this is explicitly a dual role.
• Strong with schedules and spreadsheets; able to run a room, not just fill in a sheet.
• Motorbike Driving License.

Salary & Remuneration

- Starting Basic Salary MVR 16,000.00.00 (condition to match exact qualification mentioned above).
- Project Performance Bonus (a set percentage of project collection)
- Other Benifits as per the Employment Law of the Maldives.
