Quantity Surveying Graduate, Belfast

Job Summary

We have an immediate graduate opportunity in Belfast for a Quantity Surveying graduate to join our project cost management team, to help provide construction cost management services to our clients in the UK and around the world. 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:

• Commercial – new build, refurbishment and fit out for major property developers

You will have opportunity to work with a wide variety of clients including some very high profile names, often working alongside other construction professionals in multi-disciplinary teams.
