Quantity Surveyor

About This Job

The Urban Unit, working under the Planning and Development Board, Government of Punjab, has advertised one vacancy for Quantity Surveyor through the Punjab Job Portal, to be engaged under the Punjab Affordable Housing Program. The position is offered on a contract basis rather than as a permanent civil post, reflecting the project-based nature of the Affordable Housing Program, which is developing subsidized housing schemes across the province. The Quantity Surveyor will play a central cost-control role in the program, working alongside the project's engineering and consultancy teams to keep construction costs realistic, transparent and properly documented as multiple housing schemes progress simultaneously.

To be eligible, candidates must hold a Bachelor's degree in Civil Engineering, or a Diploma of Associate Engineering in Civil Technology; those with a Bachelor's degree need at least three years of relevant experience, while Diploma holders need at least seven years, reflecting the equivalent seniority the Urban Unit expects regardless of academic route. Prior relevant experience in public-sector or donor-funded infrastructure programs is considered an added advantage, as is working proficiency in MS Office, AutoCAD and dedicated quantity-surveying software. The post is open to both men and women aged 18 to 45, and Punjab domicile is required, obtainable through the Government of Punjab's Dastak Doorstep Delivery service (helpline 1202 or app) for applicants who do not already hold one. The district field on the advertisement is listed as "All Pakistan," reflecting that the Quantity Surveyor may be deployed to whichever Affordable Housing Program site needs cost-control support at a given time.

Once hired, the Quantity Surveyor will prepare and review cost estimates for construction projects covering materials, labor and equipment against drawings and specifications, analyze contractors' bills of quantities, and review consultants' invoices and contractors' payment claims for recommendation. The role also involves identifying and assessing cost-related risks with mitigation strategies, maintaining detailed project cost records and budget reports, and coordinating closely with architects and engineers to prevent cost overruns across the program's various sites. A working knowledge of quantity take-off methods, market rate schedules and composite schedule rates relevant to construction-cost analysis is also expected, and the incumbent may be assigned other related tasks by the program's Senior Specialist Infrastructure as the various Affordable Housing Program schemes progress. Interested applicants should apply online through the Punjab Job Portal (jobs.punjab.gov.pk), where the complete advertisement and application form for this listing are posted; since the role is engaged on a contract basis, salary is determined as per contract terms and the candidate's experience. The application deadline is 10 September 2026.
