About Classic
Classic Group is a diverse group of companies with a key focus on the property industry. Included in the group is one of New Zealand’s largest residential builders, Classic Builders. This growing group of businesses has been operating for nearly 30 years.
At Classic Builders, we’re not just in the business of building homes—we’re crafting lifestyles, communities, and futures. We're one of Aotearoa’s largest and most trusted residential builders, committed to delivering quality homes, exceptional customer experiences, and continuous innovation. Our mission? To build a better everyday life for people. And we mean it.
While the Queenstown branch has the feel of a smaller team, you’ll also have the backing of a corporate-sized business — including support from our wider QS team and Head Office functions. It’s the best of both worlds.
About the Role
We are seeking a highly skilled and experienced Intermediate or Senior Quantity Surveyor to join our team. Based in Queenstown, you will be responsible for carrying out QS duties across the Queenstown, Wanaka, Cromwell and the wider Otago region to the highest industry standards, ensuring adherence to required timeframes and maintaining the quality of work produced.
This role offers plenty of variety, spanning both House & Land and Design & Build projects, with a strong future pipeline already in place. You’ll play an integral role in helping shape the continued success and growth of the branch.
Being a small team, team fit is important to us. We’re looking for someone who enjoys taking ownership of the numbers, thrives in a collaborative environment, and wants to become a key part of the journey our team is building together.

Prepare, manage, and deliver tender submissions
Prepare, manage, and deliver standalone Design & Build contracts

About You
We’re open to receiving applications from both Intermediate and Senior Quantity Surveyors within the residential construction industry.
You’ll have a strong understanding of the NZ Building Code and NZS 3604, as well as hold a National Diploma in QS or relevant tertiary qualification.
You’ll bring commercial awareness and confidence in overseeing contracts, including end-to-end NZS3910 administration, enabling successful tendering and delivery across residential and light commercial projects.
Experience using CostX software would be desirable, although training can be provided.
Most importantly, you’ll be someone who values team culture, takes pride in your work, and enjoys being part of a collaborative environment where people genuinely enjoy working together.
Why Join Classic?
We’re passionate about digital transformation and use specialised systems, including CostX, to ensure maximum output for minimum input
Our collaborative and supportive team will have your back every step of the way
We offer flexible working arrangements, birthday leave (because celebrations are a must!), volunteering leave and supplier discounts
You’ll join a branch with strong leadership, a fantastic culture, and an exciting pipeline of future projects
And one final thing. Core to life at Classic, shaping how we show up every day, are our values: CARE, ONE TEAM, DARING, EXCELLENCE.
We’re not your ordinary company; we’re a tribe of passionate individuals, owned by a couple of everyday Kiwi blokes who love what we do. We believe in doing meaningful mahi, creating real connections, and giving people room to grow. That’s Classic.
