For more than 15 years, Buro Eight has delivered major infrastructure and building projects, pairing a depth of experience few firms can claim with a data-driven, model-based approach most have only recently adopted. With more than 60 million square metres delivered across the GCC, Europe and North America, Buro Eight has turned long experience into something rarer: reliability, proven at scale.

• Review subcontractor quotations, payment applications and variation orders.
• Prepare and assess claims, variations, change orders and commercial letters.
• Help prepare interim payment certificates and final accounts.
• Support project managers on contract administration, and keep cost records ready for audit.

• 5 to 8 years of experience in quantity surveying and cost control in construction or engineering.
• Advanced Microsoft Excel and reporting tools.
