Job description

Designer Group, a mechanical and electrical contractor headquartered in Dublin that designs, supplies and installs M&E services as turnkey packages, is recruiting a Senior Project Quantity Surveyor in Dublin. The post is full time and based on site. The posting puts tender documents and procurement strategy at the centre of the role.

The surveyor places subcontract orders with the buying department and evaluates subcontract terms and conditions, looking in particular at risk, programme and design responsibility. The work includes tender risk analysis in the company’s standard format and contract documentation, bills of quantities among it.

On live projects the surveyor runs commercial cost control reports that separate committed and forecast costs for materials, subcontracts, labour and preliminaries, and works with the Commercial Director to identify commercial risks and plan the response.

The post holder advises on contractual claims, analysing the likely outcomes and forecasting and reporting on them, prepares and presents monthly reports for project and business reviews, and helps the Commercial Director with the monthly commercial report. Occasional help to the estimating department on estimates is also expected.

Applicants need a third-level degree in quantity surveying or a similar subject and at least five years as a quantity surveyor. The posting also asks for clear communication with colleagues in other functions, attention to detail and an analytical approach. No salary figure or closing date is published.
