  • Providing crisp and focused cost advice and reporting
  • Conducting tender analysis for the purpose of contractor appointments and data capture for benchmarking and future cost plans
  • Assuming a leading role in setting objectives and priorities, working as a proactive team player
  • Maintaining effective communication to ensure all information is available for the successful completion of projects and liaising with other managers to ensure efficient financial control
  • Representing and acting as an ambassador for the company in a professional and confidence-inspiring manner; meeting, negotiating and corresponding with clients to form strong working relationships


What skills and attributes are we looking for from you:


  • BSc in quantity surveying or equivalent
  • Membership of the Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors (MRICS) would be ideal
  • Technical delivery experience gained within a global construction consultancy
  • Pre and post-contract experience including cost planning and procurement
  • Good technical writing, strong client-facing and communication skills
  • Well-organised, diligent, proactive, assertive, self-starting, well-disciplined and commercially astute
  • A team player with a ‘can-do’ attitude, outgoing, polite, patient, diplomatic, personable, respectful, and flexible.
  • Ability to take on a leadership role as part of personal development planning
  • NEC experience beneficial
  • Travel may be required across The Republic of Ireland, the UK and Europe
