One of Ireland's largest privately owned Quantity Surveying firm. Known for its family-like culture, hands-on leadership, and reputation for repeat business, we offer professionals genuine autonomy, growth opportunities, and the chance to become a core part of the company's expanding Data Centre (DC) Business Unit.

As one of their Directors puts it: "Once you come in, you stay."

Current Project & Pipeline

  • Live: Groningen Data Centre (Netherlands)

  • Upcoming: CSA & MEP roles in Milan and Finland.

  • Pipeline: Additional opportunities developing in Oslo and Amsterdam.


The Role

We are seeking a Quantity Surveyor to join an exciting Groningen Data Centre project team.

Key Responsibilities:

  • Manage monthly valuations and agree change orders directly with contractors.

  • Lead commercial negotiations and progress reviews.

  • Engage directly with the client and project stakeholders on valuations and variations.

  • Provide technical MEP input - CV must demonstrate clear M&E knowledge and scope.

  • Collaborate with the Dublin office to develop future travelling QS teams.

What Makes This Role Different:

  • No margin pressure - focus is on sound commercial management, not squeezing contractors.

  • Opportunity to grow into a leadership position.


Ideal Candidate

  • 3-4 year's Quantity Surveying experience, preferably in data centres, mission-critical, or large MEP projects.

  • MEP/CSA technical background - either through education or hands-on project exposure.

  • Comfortable with European site work and regular travel rotations.

  • A strong, team-oriented personality who thrives on-site and welcomes challenge.

  • Open to candidates from both contractor and consultancy backgrounds, though practical, delivery-focused profiles are preferred.
