What Success Looks Like
Within the role, success means that Entegro has a single, reliable commercial view of project delivery.
Every relevant piece of engineering and deployment work should be traceable from:
Operational delivery evidence of completion supplier/subcontractor claim PO/cost QS validation supplier payment client AFP client approval/payment.
The QS will play a key role in ensuring that Entegro pays correctly, gets paid correctly, and has the evidence and governance in place to support both.
This role is therefore critical to protecting project margin, improving cash flow, preventing commercial leakage and ensuring strong financial governance across Entegro's operations.
- A bachelor's degree in quantity surveying, Construction Economics, Commercial Management, or related discipline would be advantageous.
Note: Only candidates permitted to work in the Ireland will be considered for this role.
