Quantity Surveyor

The Opportunity Own the commercial side of a major residential scheme in West Dublin, from the first tender package through to final account. This is a hands on QS role with real accountability: you will run procurement, drive subcontractor negotiations and sit at the table with the project team where commercial decisions are made. Our client is Tier 1 Irish Contractor, wholly Irish-owned with over 75 years' pedigree and a team of 600+ delivering across residential, data centres, life sciences, infrastructure and commercial. With turnover now approaching the €1bn mark and a healthy forward pipeline, this is a contractor that is investing in its people and its next phase of growth. Why This Role Real ownership. Take charge of subcontract packages end to end - tender, negotiation, placement, valuations and final account settlement. Influence, not just reporting. Work shoulder to shoulder with site and project management, challenging and shaping commercial decisions that protect margin and reduce risk. Broader exposure. Support the pre-construction and bid teams on cost planning and tender analysis, building the wider commercial skillset that fast-tracks progression. Scale and stability. Deliver on a large residential project with a Tier 1 contractor backed by a diversified order book across multiple sectors. Strong package. Salary of €70,000 - €85,000, depending on experience. The Role Prepare and manage tender packages, evaluate subcontractor returns and lead negotiations through to placement of subcontract agreements. Manage the commercial and financial performance of subcontract packages from procurement to final account. Measure and quantify works on site to support valuations, variations, cost reporting and subcontractor assessments. Prepare cost forecasts, track budgets and reconcile contract values to hit commercial targets. Prepare and agree interim valuations and variations, ensuring every change is substantiated and captured. Keep projected final accounts current and report clearly on commercial performance and cost exposure. Safeguard the company's contractual position by identifying, documenting and recovering all entitlements. Identify commercial risks and opportunities and develop mitigation and value-enhancement strategies. Manage cash flow, ensuring timely applications, payments and recoveries. Provide cost planning, tender analysis and commercial input to pre-construction and bid teams as required. About You Third-level qualification in Quantity Surveying, Construction Economics, Civil Engineering or a related construction discipline. Minimum 5 years' experience in a QS or commercial role, ideally with a recognised main contractor on large-scale projects. Proven delivery on residential, commercial, civil engineering or mixed-use projects, with hands-on responsibility for procurement, subcontractor management, valuations, variations and final accounts.
