Quantity Surveyor / Power Systems Engineer
Zanussi Professional - Electrolux Service
Role:Role DescriptionWe are seeking analytical, technically skilled, and detail-oriented professionals for the positions of Quantity Surveyor / Power Systems Engineer. These roles focus on supporting project cost management, evaluating technical requirements, optimizing resources, and ensuring that construction or electrical engineering activities meet established quality, safety, and performance standards. Successful candidates will contribute to cost control, technical assessment, project coordination, and the implementation of practical engineering solutions.
Quantity Surveyors are responsible for managing construction-related costs, preparing financial estimates, evaluating project quantities, and supporting effective budget control throughout the project lifecycle. Key duties include preparing bills of quantities, reviewing construction drawings and specifications, estimating material and labor costs, evaluating tender submissions, and monitoring project expenditure. They collaborate with project managers, architects, engineers, contractors, and suppliers to assess variations, review contractual documentation, prepare progress valuations, and support payment certifications. They also maintain cost records, analyze budget differences, and identify opportunities to improve cost efficiency while ensuring that financial documentation remains accurate and consistent.
Power Systems Engineers focus on the design, analysis, operation, and optimization of electrical power systems. Responsibilities include evaluating electrical network performance, analyzing load requirements, reviewing power distribution designs, and supporting the installation, testing, and maintenance of electrical equipment. They may conduct power system studies, assess protection and control systems, investigate electrical faults, and recommend improvements to enhance reliability and energy efficiency. They also coordinate with electrical engineers, utility providers, contractors, and project teams to ensure that systems comply with applicable technical specifications, safety requirements, and electrical standards.
Both roles require strong analytical thinking, attention to detail, and the ability to interpret technical information accurately. Professionals in these positions contribute to effective project planning, resource management, risk reduction, and quality assurance while maintaining clear documentation and collaborating with multidisciplinary teams.
