We are currently seeking a motivated and detail-oriented Quantity Surveyor Intern to join our dynamic team. Location: Lusaka, Zambia. Job Type: Junior Quantity Surveyor Internship – Field-Based Position. This role offers an excellent opportunity for an aspiring Quantity Surveyor to gain hands-on experience within a dynamic construction environment. The intern will be actively involved in on-site project execution, contributing to cost management, procurement, and contract administration tasks. Key responsibilities include conducting site measurements, preparing interim valuations, assisting with tender documentation, and supporting the resolution of contractual disputes. The ideal candidate will possess strong analytical skills, proficiency in MS Office (particularly Excel), and familiarity with construction contracts. Prior exposure to construction projects, whether through academic projects or vocational experience, is advantageous. The position requires a proactive attitude, meticulous attention to detail, and the ability to collaborate effectively within a multidisciplinary team.

Are you a detail-focused individual with strong numerical skills, eager to pursue a career in construction cost management? If so, consider joining our team at FABRIBUILD ZAMBIA LIMITED. We are a well-established and respected construction company renowned for our commitment to excellence and pioneering solutions. Currently, we are seeking a motivated Quantity Surveyor (INTERN) to contribute to the expansion of our extensive portfolio encompassing both residential and commercial developments.

What You’ll Do:

Support the preparation of quantity takeoffs and the development of associated documentation, including bills of quantities (BoQs) from drawings and specifications. Assist in developing comprehensive cost estimates, detailed budgets, and thorough tender documentation. Perform material take-offs and evaluate supplier quotations to facilitate procurement decisions. Support the measurement of completed tasks and preparation of monthly valuations, interim payment certificates, and variation records. Provide assistance to on-site teams by overseeing cost monitoring, reconciling materials, and generating progress reports. Responsible for maintaining accurate and well-organized cost records, contract documentation, and project files.

What You Bring:

Obtained or currently pursuing a diploma or degree in Quantity Surveying. We seek a candidate holding a degree in Construction Economics, Building, or a closely related discipline, with a strong foundation in quantitative analysis and project management principles. While prior experience with measurement and estimating in a construction setting would be advantageous, it is not a prerequisite for this role.

Proven capability to prioritize tasks efficiently and consistently deliver work within established deadlines is required.

We Offer:

Remuneration begins at a competitive rate, subject to experience and qualifications, providing a strong financial incentive for top candidates. ZMW4,000 to ZMW5,000 per month. The position offers avenues for professional development and continuous learning within a collaborative team environment. Opportunity to contribute to dynamic, practical construction initiatives and gain valuable, on-site experience. We foster a welcoming and professional workplace setting.

  • Never pay any amount of money — for a file, a training, a uniform, or an interview. A real employer never asks the candidate to pay.
  • Never send a photo of your ID card, passport, or banking details before you have physically verified the employer exists.
  • Always meet in a public place, during the day — never an isolated address, a private home, or a location you cannot verify in advance.
  • Tell a relative or friend exactly where you are going, with whom, and at what time — and share your live location if possible.
  • Search the company name online before going: a real business has a trace (website, reviews, other employees, an official address).
  • A salary that is far above the market rate for the position and the city is a red flag — be extra cautious.
