ROLE OVERVIEW
DirectPath Recruitment has been exclusively retained by a premier Tier 1 Contractor to secure an ambitious Fitout Foreman for a flagship Hyperscale Data Centre Development in Copenhagen, Denmark.
High-tech internal fitouts require an exceptional eye for detail, clean site conditions, and precise sub-contractor coordination. While your gross base salary is highly competitive, the structured project uplifts, tax-free international allowances, and employer-provided accommodation are designed to drastically lower your out-of-pocket living expenses.
To show the real worth of these perks, we have listed their Gross Income Replacement Value below. This represents the actual before-tax salary a higher-rate (52%) taxpayer in Ireland would need to earn just to cover these specific living, holiday, and retirement costs out of their own pocket.
