Job description

Altus Group is recruiting a quantity surveyor into its Toronto cost planning team, and the posting says the appointment follows accelerated growth. The role covers pre-construction and construction stages, and puts contract administration at its centre: running the end-to-end process on mixed-use, commercial, office, institutional, government and residential projects, reviewing plans, specifications and contracts, and negotiating contract terms and conditions.

The named duties are post-contract quantity surveying. Payment certification involves monthly site inspections, assessing construction progress, checking compliance documents and recommending progress payments. Cost allocation is done on calculated or agreed methods.

Change orders are analysed and their reasonableness determined. Tender packages are reviewed and advised on for scope gaps, document quality and risk. The role also prepares construction estimates through the design stages, finalises contract accounts, and gives contract and procurement advice, with regular client contact and reporting.

The posting publishes a pay range but does not name the currency, so no salary is shown here. Requisition R0013992, advertised on the firm's own board on 14 August 2026 and read on 19 August 2026.
