Job Description

AECOM have a strong MEP Quantity Surveying team who you will be required to support, providing you with the ideal opportunity to broaden your knowledge on all aspects of a construction project.

We have an immediate graduate opportunity for a Quantity Surveying graduate (0 to 2 years' experience) to join our project cost management team, to help provide construction cost management services to our clients in Ireland and around the world.

The role is for AECOM’s Dublin office location, however there may be the potential for an alternative Ireland office location for the right candidate.

AECOM provides Cost Management services to Clients in both the public and private sector, and to organisations in all areas of the Construction Industry including:
