Alongside a strong understanding of commercial processes including valuations, variations, cost reporting, and subcontractor management. Additionally, a strong understanding of procurement processes used in civils projects.
Good organisational ability and a strong attention to detail paired with a commercial mindset to support project outcomes will aid your success in this role.
What You'll Get in Return:
In return, you will be joining a stable civil engineering contractor with a strong pipeline of utilities, infrastructure, and general civils projects across the Dublin region. You will have opportunities to progress your commercial career as the business continues to expand.
You will have the option of being paid on either an hourly rate or a fixed salary. Hourly rates typically range from €30 to €50 per hour, depending on experience and project exposure.
