Junior Quantity Surveyor (Residential)

A growing development company is looking to appoint a Junior Quantity Surveyor to support the commercial delivery of a major residential development in Tullamore. This is a site-based position offering hands-on involvement across the commercial side of a substantial, multi-phase development.

The overall development will deliver approximately 200 new homes across multiple phases, with a mix of semi-detached, terraced and detached properties. The wider masterplan also incorporates community facilities and significant supporting infrastructure.

Alongside the residential construction, the project includes estate roads, drainage networks, footpaths, public lighting, landscaping, parking areas and utility connections, providing excellent exposure across both building and infrastructure works.

The Junior Quantity Surveyor will support the day-to-day commercial management and reporting of the development, working closely with an experienced Senior Quantity Surveyor/Commercial Manager.
