About us

Kiwi owned and operating since 1910, Naylor Love is one of the largest commercial construction companies in New Zealand. Operating across 100+ projects nationwide with over 900+ employees, we're known for delivering high-quality projects - and for the people who make it happen.

Our culture is at the heart of everything we do. We value good people who live our behaviours: backing each other, doing what we say we'll do, sharing knowledge, giving encouragement, and having candid, respectful conversations. We call out below-the-line behaviours, we celebrate wins together, and we work hard to create an environment where our team can thrive.

The opportunity

We're looking for an Intermediate Quantity Surveyor to join our Waikato/BoP team in Tauranga. This is a brand-new role created due to a major new project - a $20m large warehouse build.

You'll have the support of our QS Manager while being trusted with real responsibility, reporting directly to them as you help deliver this exciting development. This is a great opportunity for someone with some QS experience who's ready to step up and take on larger, more complex projects.

You'll be part of a young, capable, and collaborative team of twelve QS across Projects and Interiors and Building. The team includes three senior QS, several intermediates, and a cadet - all supported by a QS Manager and P&I Manager with strong main contractor backgrounds.

Who we're looking for

We're open-minded on background, but ideally you'll bring the following:

• Experience working in commercial construction as a Quantity Surveyor (consultancy, estimating, or site-based QS stepping across also considered)
• Strong communication skills and the ability to build positive working relationships
• Good EQ and cultural fit - someone who reflects our values and can adapt to a supportive but high-performing team environment

If you're the right person with the right attitude, we're keen to talk.

Key responsibilities include the following:

• Financial management and administration of building contracts
• Final account negotiations
• Letting and administration of sub-contractors
• Supporting the team to deliver high-quality outcomes for clients

Why work for us

Naylor Love is a first-tier commercial contractor, considered in the industry as "one of the best." We offer a positive and professional environment with career development, wellbeing support, and a team culture that sets us apart.

In addition to a competitive salary, you'll enjoy the following:

• Southern Cross medical insurance for you and your whānau (covers pre-existing conditions)
• Paid parental leave
• Option to purchase additional leave
• Annual skin checks, flu vaccinations, and health checks
• Scholarships for your children to support construction-related study
• Staff purchasing benefits
• Volunteer days to give back to your community
• Professional development and career progression opportunities
• Free confidential counselling and support services

Applications close on Friday, 24 October 2025.
