You are an experienced Electrical Quantity Surveyor to take full commercial responsibility for electrical packages across active and upcoming infrastructure projects based out of Co Kildare. You will be expected to manage the entire commercial cycle, from early-stage estimating and procurement through to final accounts and closeout, while working closely with internal project teams, subcontractors, and clients.
This is a site-informed, delivery-focused position that demands a strong understanding of electrical systems and how they integrate within broader project scopes. The role involves detailed cost control, risk management, change control, and the ability to produce accurate, contractually robust documentation. It also requires close engagement with subcontractor accounts, remeasurable works, and effective variation management.
You should be confident operating in a fast-paced environment, where technical detail and commercial accuracy go hand in hand. Prior experience in sectors such as civils, power, renewables, or data centres is advantageous.
Your new company are an established and reputable contractor delivering technically complex infrastructure across sectors including energy, civil engineering, utilities, and renewables. With a strong in-house delivery model, we manage all key aspects of our projects, from engineering and planning through to construction and commissioning. This integrated structure allows for tight project control, quality assurance, and responsive decision-making throughout the lifecycle of a project.
