You will have:

• 2–4 years' experience in a Health & Safety role.
• Previous experience working within civil engineering or for a main contractor.

What's on Offer?

• Salary: €65,000 DOE + benefits
• A newly created role with autonomy and responsibility.
• The opportunity to work with a leading civil engineering company.
• A varied, hands-on position supporting projects across Leinster.
