Buildcost Ireland is currently seeking to employ a Senior Quantity Surveyor.
Built for QS professionals who want more than a steady job
You’re good at what you do. This is for the Chartered QS who’s quietly wondering if there’s somewhere better to take it.
About the role
Buildcost is a growing independent PQS consultancy with a team of 20+ QS professionals and a reputation for serious work across commercial, residential, healthcare, education, and student accommodation. We advise clients across the full project lifecycle, and we do it without the bureaucracy of a large firm.
As a Senior QS, you’ll lead projects, shape client relationships, and have a genuine say in how the business develops. If you’ve ever felt like a number in a big practice, this is the opposite of that.
What you’ll work on
Commercial · Residential · Healthcare · Education · Student accommodation · High-value, multi-sector projects · Full lifecycle advisory
What’s in it for you
💰 Competitive remuneration: A package built to attract and retain strong people, salary, benefits, and more.
🔼 Real progression: Lean, senior-led structure means you move fast, not when a seat opens above you.
🎓 APC support: Structured mentoring and professional development as standard, long-life learning beyond your chartership.
🏢 Flexible working: Hybrid arrangements with a Dublin City Centre head office, plus regional options including Donegal.
📅 Up to 28 days annual leave: Generous leave allowance so you can switch off.
❤️ Wellbeing package: Health and wellness support that means something.
What we’re looking for
A Chartered QS with a solid Irish PQS consultancy background, confident leading projects and advising clients independently. You don’t need to be looking to move, just open to a confidential conversation.
