Quantity Surveyor at Moniepoint Inc.

About the role

• At Moniepoint, we power the dreams of millions. Our physical branches are the hubs where those dreams take shape. As our Quantity Surveyor, you are the financial heartbeat of our physical expansion.
• You’ll oversee the cost integrity and financial health of our branch buildouts and infrastructure projects across Nigeria. This isn't just about spreadsheets; it’s about mastery. You will ensure that every Naira we invest in our physical footprint is used honestly and efficiently to create spaces that bring financial happiness to our customers. You’ll be a strategic partner who understands that a building’s value is measured from the first brick to its long-term maintenance.

Key Responsibilities

• Cost Planning & Intelligence: Maintain a real-time database of market rates for materials and labour across Nigeria. You’ll keep our "Moniepoint Rate Guide" current and accurate.
• Feasibility & Estimates: Create detailed Bills of Quantities (BoQs) and pre-tender estimates that allow us to move fast without losing precision.
• Procurement Partnership: Collaborate with the Procurement team to prequalify and vet contractors, ensuring we work with partners who share our commitment to quality.
• Tender Management: Lead commercial evaluations of tenders and provide data-backed recommendations for contract awards.
• Value Engineering: Identify innovative ways to reduce costs during design phases while strictly maintaining our brand standards.
• Contract Administration: Manage the full contract lifecycle, including Advance Payment Bonds, Performance Bonds, and site measurements for milestone certifications.
• Financial Control: Negotiate and manage "Variation Orders," ensuring every deviation from the budget is justified and approved.
• Maintenance Integration: Provide lifecycle costing analysis to ensure our materials are durable and cost-effective to maintain over time.
• Audit & Compliance: Ensure all civil works comply with Nigerian building codes, HSE standards, and our internal governance policies.

Qualifications

• 5–8 years of professional experience in Quantity Surveying, ideally with a mix of consultancy and contracting backgrounds.
• Proven experience in commercial or retail roll-outs (e.g., banking branches or retail outlets).
• Experience managing infrastructure projects across different geographical regions in Nigeria.
• Bachelor’s Degree (B.Sc.) in Quantity Surveying.
• Mandatory Professional Membership: Nigerian Institute of Quantity Surveyors (NIQS).
• Mandatory Registration: Quantity Surveyors Registration Board of Nigeria (QSRBN).

Preferred Qualifications

• HSE Certification or membership in Facilities Management bodies (e.g., IFMA).
• Expertise in scale-up environments where speed and cost-efficiency are balanced.

About You

• You value mastery: You don't guess; you use data and research to back every number you provide.
• You’re a builder: You’re energised by the idea of creating systems and rate guides from the ground up to help a business scale.
• You’re relatable and direct: You can explain complex cost structures to non-technical teammates simply and clearly.
• You have grit: You’re comfortable in a fast-paced environment and can pivot quickly when priorities shift.
• You’re a strategic partner: You think about the "future self" of the building, ensuring today's costs don't lead to tomorrow's maintenance headaches.

What Success Looks Like

• A standardised "Moniepoint Rate Guide" is established and used for all new branch roll-outs.
• 95%+ of projects are delivered within the approved pre-tender estimate.
• Contractors report a fair, transparent, and efficient valuation and payment certification process.
• Maintenance costs for new buildouts decrease due to better material selection and lifecycle costing.
• The business has a clear, real-time view of the financial health of the entire infrastructure portfolio.
