  • Maintain strong client relationships and represent the company in commercial meetings.

  • Mentor junior QS staff and support continuous improvement across the commercial team.


About You
  • 7+ years’ experience in Quantity Surveying within civils, groundworks, or infrastructure.

  • Proven ability to commercially manage multiple civils/groundworks projects.

  • Strong understanding of residential and commercial civils packages.

  • Excellent negotiation, reporting, and financial management skills.

  • Ability to work independently while contributing to a strong commercial team.

  • Degree qualified in Quantity Surveying, Construction Economics, or a related discipline.

  • Full clean driving licence.


What’s on Offer Salary: €100,000 (DOE)

Package Includes:
