As part of their ambitious organic growth strategy, they are expanding into Ireland and are looking for an experienced Building Surveyor at either Associate or Associate Director level to help establish and lead the Dublin office. This is an exciting opportunity to build up the office from the ground up, leveraging their existing client base and live projects in the region.
The Role
This is an exceptional opportunity to lead the Building Surveying workstream for Drees & Sommer in Ireland, helping to establish the office while focusing on project delivery and talent acquisition. While business development will play a part in the role, your main focus will be to build and grow the Dublin office's service delivery for existing clients, especially leveraging the projects already underway in the region.
You’ll have the advantage of stepping into a position with an existing project workstream in Dublin, as well as access to an established client base serviced from the UK and Belfast. These clients, many of whom are major European companies with a presence in Ireland, will provide you with immediate opportunities for delivery and further relationship-building.
Key responsibilities;
* Lead the Building Surveying Workstream - Manage and oversee the building surveying services in Dublin, ensuring the delivery of high-quality work for clients across various sectors.
* Leverage Existing Projects & Clients - Tap into the live projects being serviced by the UK and Belfast offices, and build strong local relationships with existing clients who already have active work in Ireland.
* Delivery-Focused Leadership - Drive the successful delivery of building surveying projects, ensuring excellence in quality, safety, and client satisfaction.
* Talent Acquisition - Focus on building a strong team in Dublin, attracting top-tier talent in building surveying to support the growing office.
* Collaborative Approach - Work closely with the UK and European teams to ensure the Dublin office’s work aligns with the broader company strategy, with a strong focus on collaboration and knowledge-sharing.
* Business Development - support business development efforts by identifying opportunities to expand existing relationships and secure additional work within Ireland.
The Ideal Candidate
We are looking for an ambitious, driven Building Surveyor with the following;
* Chartered status (MRICS) in Building Surveying or equivalent.
* Experience at Associate or Associate Director level, or a Senior Surveyor looking to take the next step.
* Proven experience in delivering high-quality building surveying services, particularly in real estate, data centres, or infrastructure sectors.
* A strong delivery focus, with the ability to manage multiple projects and ensure high client satisfaction.
* Experience in team leadership and the ability to attract top talent to build a strong team in Dublin.
* Strong collaborative skills, with the ability to work seamlessly with teams across the UK, Ireland, and Europe.
* A client-focused mindset, ready to build on existing relationships and further strengthen Drees & Sommer’s reputation in Ireland.
Why Join Drees & Sommer?
* Immediate Impact - This is a key leadership role where you will be instrumental in shaping the Dublin office while working with an existing client base and live projects.
* Collaborative Environment - Drees & Sommer has a highly collaborative approach, meaning you’ll be working closely with teams across Europe and the UK to deliver projects and further grow the business.
* Focused on Delivery - The role is centered on delivering exceptional surveying services, with opportunities to expand your leadership as the office grows.
* Growth Potential - As the office develops, there are significant opportunities for you to shape the future of the Dublin office and potentially advance to senior leadership positions within the wider Drees & Sommer group.
* Support and Resources - You’ll have the full backing of a global firm with an established client base, a strong European presence, and dedicated support from the UK and Belfast offices.
The Next Step
This is an exciting opportunity to help build Drees & Sommer’s Dublin office from the ground up, focusing on service delivery, client relationships, and team growth. If you're ready to take the lead and help shape the future of building surveying in Ireland, we want to hear from you.
