Job description

Linesight is recruiting a senior quantity surveyor into its Irish infrastructure team, working across transport, rail, roads, water, utilities, energy and ports commissions. The post carries cost estimation and cost management on major infrastructure projects, including first-principles pricing where the work calls for it. The commercial duties run from procurement through to close.

The holder prepares tender documentation, evaluates and negotiates tenders and recommends contract award; produces estimates, tender reports and valuations; and supports the team in preparing and agreeing final accounts, handling variations and claims as they arise. Cost analysis and benchmarking feed lessons learned and value-for-money findings back into later projects and investment decisions.

Commercial management of GCCC and NEC contracts sits with the wider team, with this post assisting it. Site teams are supported on cost control, cost reporting and forecasting. Seven years or more in quantity surveying is asked for, with major civils experience preferred, including time on the contracting side.

Understanding of construction contracts is required, NEC and GCCC in particular, along with experience of Capital Works Management Framework stages 5 to 7 and CostX or equivalent. A quantity surveying qualification is essential; an interest in SCSI or RICS accreditation is expected where it is not already held. One permanent, full-time post.

Based in Dublin, with Cork, Limerick, Maynooth and Galway also named. No salary and no closing date are published.
