Why Join Our High‑Tech Cost Management Team in Dublin?

Our Dublin office is the centre of excellence for high‑tech projects across EMEA, leading cost management delivery for one of the world’s largest hyperscale tech companies. We provide full CSA and MEP cost management expertise in‑house, with a dedicated MEP team based in Dublin and additional specialist support across our UK offices. This allows us to offer clients a fully coordinated, multidisciplinary service from early estimating through to post‑contract delivery.

We manage the entire lifecycle of data centre projects — RIBA Stages 0–5 — including front‑end estimating, benchmarking, cost modelling, OFCI procurement, and full post‑contract cost control. All team members, regardless of level, receive strong client exposure, regularly presenting cost plans and reports directly to senior stakeholders within the developer’s organisation.

The Dublin office is young, diverse, and collaborative, with strong social culture, hybrid working, and direct access to senior leadership. With both CSA and MEP teams under one roof — supported by multiple offices across EMEA — we offer a truly integrated technical environment, giving staff the chance to specialise, broaden their expertise, and work on some of the most complex, high‑tech assets in Europe.
