Quantity Surveyors (Chartered)

Quantity Surveyors (Chartered) positions in Saudi Arabia, United Arab Emirates, Qatar, Kuwait are in strong and growing demand, creating excellent opportunities for qualified Kenyan professionals in the Engineering (Professional) sector. Gulf employers consistently recruit Kenyan quantity surveyors (chartered)s and value their professional training, disciplined approach, and strong command of English.

Quantity surveyors in the Gulf manage the commercial and contractual aspects of major construction projects — cost planning, procurement, valuations, variation management, and final accounts — on some of the largest capital programmes in the world. RICS (Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors) membership or progress toward RICS Assessment of Professional Competence (APC) is highly valued by Gulf developers and contractors. Kenyan QSs with a degree from JKUAT or UoN and experience on Kenya's government infrastructure or commercial building projects are strong candidates, particularly those familiar with FIDIC contracts.
