Required Qualifications and Experience 10+ years in quantity surveying or commercial management, with a track record in a senior leadership role. Degree-qualified in Quantity Surveying or a related discipline. Proven experience managing a QS team — leading a commercial team is essential for this role. Strong command of contract administration, variation recovery, CVR, cashflow forecasting, and final accounts. Background in Mechanical, Electrical, or related engineering and construction sectors strongly preferred. Excellent communication skills and confidence engaging with clients, contractors, and senior stakeholders. Fluent English; additional European languages an advantage. Minimum 3 days per week in the Naas or Clonmel office; international travel approximately one week per month. Competitive salary package, commensurate with experience and qualifications. Clear career progression opportunities within a growing and dynamic organisation. Exposure to a diverse portfolio of complex and high-impact international engineering projects.
