Part of the CIMIC Group, we are proud to be constructing New Zealand’s future and do so collaboratively with our partners and clients.

The Project 

The New Dunedin Hospital project is the single largest hospital project ever undertaken in New Zealand. Following an extended period of Early Contractor Engagement, Te Whatu Ora Health New Zealand has confirmed their intention to enter into contract with CPB Contractors for the Inpatient Building, in recognition of our depth of experience in the delivery of healthcare facilities across Australasia and our contribution to the project to date.

Spanning 71,700m2 and constructed on the former Cadbury Chocolate Factory in the centre of the city, the Inpatient Building will provide high-quality acute medical facilities in support of its role as a tertiary teaching hospital. Onsite services will include 424 beds, including future expansion of 53 beds. A total of 24 theatres, including a future capacity of 2 theatres, imaging suites and radiology. With a five-star Greenstar sustainability rating, the building's design and its use of the latest technology will provide real change to the delivery of healthcare within the region.

Your Opportunity, but not limited to: 

• Assisting in the preparation of design-to-cost reports at all design stages, ensuring alignment with project budgets and objectives.
• Conducting quantity take-offs from design drawings and BIM models, and assist in pricing work, variations, and change requests.
• Providing administrative assistance in managing contracts, including payment claims, payment certificates, insurance, and variation negotiations.
• Identifying and communicate risks and opportunities arising from the design-to-cost process, collaborating with the Risk Manager to address potential impacts.
• Supporting the production of estimates for modifications, compensation events, and change requests, and assist in the preparation of final budgets and cost forecasts.

Our minimum requirements for this role are:

• Experience in commercial construction, with a demonstrated background as a commercial/quantity surveyor in construction.
• Proficiency in tender methodology (covering costing, risks and opportunities, and constraints), contractual agreements, and managing claims and disputes.
• Experience in site contract administration—handling payment schedules, insurance, variation negotiations, dispute resolution, and valuing completed works to arrange payments. 
• Bachelor's degree in quantity surveying or engineering
