BKCS Recruitment is a family business built on decades of real construction experience — combining Des Beirne's QS background with Tom Beirne's 15 years working on major construction programmes across Europe.
Des Beirne is a Quantity Surveyor by profession with extensive experience in the Irish commercial and industrial construction market. Having worked across main contractor, subcontractor and client-side environments, Des founded BKCS Recruitment to bridge the gap between genuine industry knowledge and specialist construction recruitment.
His background across RIAI, GCCC and NEC4 contracts, combined with hands-on cost management and procurement experience, means BKCS understands exactly what construction businesses need — and what professionals are looking for.
BKCS Recruitment was established with a clear purpose: to provide construction businesses and professionals with a recruitment partner who genuinely understands the industry. Too often, recruitment is handled by generalists who don't know the difference between a compensation event and a contract instruction — let alone what makes a strong QS at senior level.
With a founding background in Quantity Surveying and a combined family experience spanning European data centres, oil refineries and residential developments, BKCS brings first-hand construction knowledge to every placement. We understand project pressures, contractual obligations, programme milestones and the specific skill sets that make the difference on site and in the office.
Our specialist focus spans engineering, quantity surveying and project management roles at all levels — junior through to commercial director — as well as contract labour hire for trades and plant operators across Ireland and Europe. Whether you need a graduate QS for a Dublin commercial project or a team of steel fixers for a civil works package on the continent, BKCS has the network and the knowledge to deliver.
Founded by a QS with a family background in European construction. We understand contracts, programmes, commercial risk and what makes a candidate genuinely right for a role.
We do construction. Not healthcare, not finance — construction. That focus means a deeper network, better calibrated shortlists and stronger placements.
Active in both the Irish domestic market and European construction programmes, placing professionals where opportunity is strongest.
Rapid mobilisation of trades and plant operatives — steel fixers, groundworkers, machine drivers — on a contract basis for programmes across Ireland and Europe.
Tom Beirne brings over 15 years of hands-on construction experience across some of Europe's most demanding project environments. As the father of Des Beirne, Tom's practical site expertise is the operational backbone of BKCS — giving the business a credibility with trades and site teams that goes beyond traditional recruitment.
Tom Beirne has spent the past 15 years working on major construction projects across Europe, gaining experience across some of the most technically demanding sectors in the industry. His career spans data centre construction, oil refinery projects and large-scale residential developments — giving him a breadth of site knowledge that few construction professionals can match.
Having worked on data centre programmes across Europe at a time when the sector was undergoing rapid expansion, Tom developed deep expertise in the fast-paced, high-specification world of critical infrastructure construction. His experience on oil refinery and industrial projects further broadened his technical understanding of complex, heavily regulated construction environments.
That background — spanning critical infrastructure, heavy industrial and residential construction across multiple European countries — is directly reflected in BKCS's ability to supply, assess and place the right people on the right projects. Tom knows what a strong site operative looks like in practice, not just on paper.
