Core PQS Functions: Produce detailed cost planning, budget estimating from concept stage, risk assessments, and robust Bill of Quantities (BOQ) generation.

Tender & Procurement Support: Structure procurement strategies, manage competitive tender evaluations, and negotiate main contractor/subcontractor accounts.

Site & Regional Supervision: Oversee project financial health via occasional site visits to ongoing developments in the Midlands area, specifically Portlaoise and Athlone.

Requirements

A proven track record within a Professional Quantity Surveying or cost consultancy setting in Ireland or the UK.

Residential Sector Expertise: Extensive background managing residential portfolios, ranging from private architectural homes to complex developer schemes.

Leadership Drive: The mindset of a business owner. 

You are someone who wants to influence corporate strategy, mentor staff, and step into an executive director capability.

SCSI / RICS Chartership is highly desirable.

Package

Salary €negotiable based on candidates experience and qualifications  

A structured hybrid setup allowing for 2–3 days of remote work (WFH) per week, combined with collaborative days in our Ennis office.

Autonomy: Direct influence over company operations without multi-layered corporate bureaucracy.

Compensation Package: 

Competitive executive-level base salary, performance bonuses, and direct financial incentives aligned with business growth.

Succession Plan: A fully transparent career roadmap progressing directly to Partner, Equity Share, and ultimate company succession.
