We have immediate & summer / autumn 2023 opportunities in Dublin, Cork & Galway for Quantity Surveying graduates 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:
