Responsibilities
Off the back of continued success and growth, our client is seeking an experienced Quantity Surveyor to provide commercial and QS support across their Frameworks division, from tender through to final account.
As a Quantity Surveyor, you will support tender preparation, prepare and review BOQs and undertake measurement in line with relevant Standard Methods of Measurement, and read and interpret construction and engineering drawings to accurately quantify works.
Successful applicants must be able to demonstrate a degree in Quantity Surveying, Construction Economics, Civil Engineering, Construction Management or a related discipline, and a minimum of five years' post-qualification experience in a similar commercial construction role.
You will bring proven experience in tendering, cost control, valuations, variations, claims and final accounts, a strong grasp of BOQs and measurement, and the ability to undertake quantity take-offs and site measurement confidently.
A strong understanding of construction contracts and contract administration is required, with NEC, FIDIC and/or JCT experience advantageous. You will be commercially astute, numerically strong, excellent in Excel, and comfortable working safely and independently on active sites.
Experience within civil engineering, utilities, energy infrastructure or renewables would be advantageous; knowledge of electrical infrastructure, substations or HV/MV projects is beneficial but not essential.
If you are interested in this Quantity Surveyor opportunity and believe you meet the illustrated criteria, apply today to join our client's growing team in Ireland.
