Our vision is straightforward: connect exceptional construction professionals with the projects that need them, faster and more reliably than anyone else in the market.

Built on Industry Expertise

BKCS Recruitment is a specialist construction recruitment and labour hire business led by Des Beirne (Managing Director) and Tom Beirne (Head of Operations) — combining commercial QS expertise with 15+ years of hands-on European site experience.

Des Beirne
Des Beirne
Managing Director · QS

Des Beirne is a Quantity Surveyor with a strong track record across commercial and industrial construction in Ireland. With a BSc in Finance and an MSc in Quantity Surveying, Des has operated across main contractor, specialist subcontractor and client-side environments — driving procurement, cost planning and commercial delivery on projects of all scales and complexity.

Des founded BKCS on a straightforward conviction: that construction recruitment is done better by people who have actually worked in construction. His first-hand understanding of what makes a strong QS, engineer or site operative — and what doesn't — underpins every placement BKCS makes.

🎓 Quantity Surveyor · Managing Director

A Different Kind of
Construction Recruiter

BKCS Recruitment was established with a clear purpose: to provide construction businesses and professionals with a recruitment partner who genuinely understands the industry from the inside. Too often, construction 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 background rooted in Quantity Surveying and commercial management, and a combined team 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 a real difference both on site and in the office.

Our specialist focus spans engineering, quantity surveying and project management roles at all levels — graduate through to commercial director — as well as contract labour hire for trades, plant operators and logistics personnel across Ireland and Europe. Whether you need a graduate QS for a Dublin commercial project, a team of steel fixers for a civil package in mainland Europe, or a logistics operative for a time-critical programme, BKCS has the network, knowledge and the motivation to deliver.

01
Industry Knowledge

Led by a QS with hands-on commercial and contractual experience across RIAI, GCCC and NEC4 frameworks. We understand what construction businesses need from their people.

02
Specialist Focus

We do construction exclusively — not healthcare, not finance. That singular focus delivers a deeper network, better calibrated shortlists and stronger long-term placements.

03
Irish & EU Reach

Active across both the Irish domestic market and European construction programmes, placing professionals and trades where opportunity is strongest at any given time.

04
Rapid Mobilisation

Contract labour hire teams — steel fixers, groundworkers, machine drivers, logistics operatives — mobilised at short notice for programmes across Ireland and Europe.

Tom Beirne
Head of Operations · Site & European Markets

Tom Beirne is Head of Operations at BKCS Recruitment, bringing over 15 years of hands-on construction experience across some of Europe's most demanding project environments. Tom's practical site expertise is the operational backbone of BKCS — giving the business a credibility with trades and site teams that goes far beyond traditional recruitment.

🌍 Ireland & European Markets

15 Years Across
European Construction

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 during a period of rapid sector 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 across multiple countries.

As Head of Operations, Tom oversees all labour supply, site relationships and the day-to-day running of BKCS's contract hire operations. That background — spanning critical infrastructure, heavy industrial and residential construction across Ireland and Europe — 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.
