Cost Manager – Sydney
We are currently recruiting for a leading, privately held cost consultancy that’s quietly dominating the national market and growing organically.
You will have the opportunity to work on large-scale Commercial, healthcare, data centres, education, and major mixed-use projects.

- Preparing estimates, detailed cost plans, BOQs, and value engineering reports
- Leading procurement, tender review, and contractor negotiations
- Managing progress claims, cost reporting, and forecasting across live projects
- Working directly with clients, services engineers, and head contractors
- Supporting junior team members and contributing to internal MEP expertise
What We’re Looking For:
- 5+ years in quantity surveying or cost management, with MEP focus
- Solid understanding of local services trades, construction methodologies & supply chains
- Confident working across pre- and post-contract phases
- Comfortable client-facing, with excellent reporting & presentation skills
- Bonus if you’ve worked on data centres, healthcare, pharma, or commercial fit-out projects
Ready to take the next step? Whether you're in a large firm and looking for more autonomy, or in a smaller shop wanting bigger projects.
