Job Description

Our client is an established and well-regarded contractor operating across Ireland's commercial and residential construction sectors. With a track record of delivering complex, high-value projects for a diverse range of clients, they have built a strong market reputation over many years, underpinned by a consistent focus on quality, programme certainty and commercial performance.

The business has developed particular expertise in modern methods of construction, positioning itself at the forefront of the shift towards offsite and modular delivery. This forward-looking approach has attracted significant investment and a growing pipeline of work, as clients increasingly seek efficient, scalable solutions to meet demanding project timelines and sustainability targets.

Recognised for retaining experienced professionals and investing in their development, the company has cultivated a culture of collaboration and accountability at all levels. With a strong leadership team and a clear strategy for continued growth, this is a business where talented individuals can genuinely progress and make a meaningful contribution to major projects.

As the organisation continues to expand its modular offering and secure new frameworks, they are now looking to strengthen their commercial function with the appointment of a skilled and commercially astute Commercial Manager to support project delivery and business performance.

You will be joining a commercially focused project delivery team working on large-scale modular construction schemes in and around Dublin. These projects are technically sophisticated and fast-moving, requiring a high level of commercial oversight and close coordination with procurement, design and construction teams throughout the full project lifecycle.

The working environment is fast-paced but highly supportive, with experienced leadership providing direction while empowering their commercial teams to take ownership of their responsibilities. There is a strong emphasis on structured commercial management, early identification of risk, and proactive resolution — qualities that are valued and rewarded at all levels.

You will gain broad exposure across a range of commercial activities, from early-stage procurement and contract formation through to final account settlement. The modular nature of the projects provides a particularly stimulating environment, with opportunities to engage in value engineering, supply chain development and programme-linked commercial strategies that are increasingly in demand across the Irish market.

Based in Dublin, this is an office and site-based role offering a strong blend of strategic commercial involvement and hands-on project engagement, within a business that continues to invest heavily in its people and its future.

• Monitor and report on project costs, valuations and cash flow, ensuring commercial targets are met
• Administer main contracts and manage the full subcontract procurement and payment process
• Identify and manage commercial risk, raising early warnings and implementing mitigation strategies
• Prepare and submit interim applications for payment and manage the assessment and agreement of variations
• Provide regular commercial reporting to senior management and support project reviews
• Develop and maintain strong working relationships with clients, consultants and key supply chain partners
• Support and mentor junior commercial team members and contribute to team capability development

• Proven experience as a Commercial Manager or Senior Quantity Surveyor within the construction sector
• Strong background working on modular, offsite, or technically complex construction projects is highly desirable
• Degree qualified in Quantity Surveying, Commercial Management or a related discipline
• Solid understanding of standard forms of contract (NEC, FIDIC, or RIAI) and contract administration
• Excellent analytical and numerical skills with strong attention to detail and commercial judgement
• Confident communicator with proven ability to manage client and stakeholder relationships at a senior level
• Eligible to work in Ireland and based in or willing to relocate to the Dublin area

This is a senior commercial role offering a highly competitive salary of €150,000 or above, commensurate with experience, alongside a strong benefits package. You will have the opportunity to take a leading commercial role on projects at the cutting edge of modern construction delivery in Ireland, within a business that actively supports career progression into commercial leadership.
