The role of a Quantity Surveyor (QS) ultimately is to provide financial support and contractual management to Clients. To do this QS’s wear many hats; one minute their focus may be Cost Engineering (Finance), the next it could be Contract Management (Law), or Project Risk Analysis (Problem Solving) and even Project Management (getting things done, in the right way, at the right time!)

The roles are as varied as the projects themselves. At Solomons Europe, our team of QS’s work on a range of projects, from Nuclear, Renewable Energy, Highways, Rail, Substations, Petrochemicals, Oil & Gas, to name only a few. It’s exciting to follow a large project through from a drawing on a sheet of paper to a fully functioning process facility! Each project presents its own problems to solve, its own challenges and risks, and the QS teams working on the project will advise and consult with the Client on the best solutions and options available to them, to ensure successful and profitable completion.
