Quantity surveyor CV and resume example

Commercial managers read for the contract values and final accounts you closed. They want to know whether you worked for a contractor, consultant or client, which contracts you used, such as FIDIC, and how you handled variations and claims. In the Gulf, RICS membership such as AssocRICS or MRICS counts heavily, along with measurement software skills like CostX or Bluebeam.
