Job description

Residential Investment & Projects Manager

Location: Dublin City Centre | Hybrid Working

An opportunity to take ownership of a significant residential investment programme and help shape the future of a growing asset management function.

Eos Talent is partnering with an established and growing organisation in the residential property sector to recruit a Planned Works & Investment Manager into a newly created position.

This is an exciting time to join the organisation. With an experienced and highly regarded leadership team driving significant growth, investment and change, there is a real focus on strengthening technical expertise, developing long-term asset strategies and building a high-performing Asset Management function.

This is not simply a role focused on delivering planned maintenance programmes. It is an opportunity to take ownership of a substantial investment budget, influence how investment decisions are made and play an important part in shaping how a residential property portfolio is managed and improved over the long term.

The Opportunity

Reporting to the Strategic Asset Manager, you will take responsibility for the planning, procurement and delivery of an annual planned investment programme of approximately €3–4 million, with scope for this to grow.

You will combine strategic thinking with practical project management, using property condition data, lifecycle information and technical assessments to identify investment priorities and deliver programmes from initial scoping through to completion.

Alongside managing the annual programme, you will contribute to the development of longer-term investment strategies, helping to shape five-year and 30-year asset investment plans.

As this is a newly created position, you will have the opportunity to influence processes, introduce improvements and work closely with an ambitious leadership team committed to developing a progressive and effective Asset Management function.

Key Responsibilities

• Take ownership of planned investment, capital improvement and cyclical works programmes across a residential property portfolio.
• Analyse stock condition information, asset data and maintenance trends to identify and prioritise investment requirements.
• Develop investment proposals, project scopes, specifications, budgets and delivery programmes.
• Manage the full project lifecycle, including procurement, tendering, contractor appointment, delivery, quality assurance and completion.
• Oversee an annual investment budget of approximately €3–4 million, ensuring strong financial control, accurate forecasting and value for money.
• Contribute to five-year and longer-term asset investment and lifecycle planning.
• Manage external consultants, contractors and specialist service providers, ensuring projects are delivered safely, efficiently and to the required standards.
• Work collaboratively with technical colleagues, operational teams and senior stakeholders to coordinate investment activity.
• Ensure effective communication and engagement with residents throughout planned works programmes.
• Identify opportunities to improve processes, reporting, project delivery and overall asset performance.

About You

We are interested in speaking with experienced professionals who combine strong residential project delivery experience with commercial awareness, technical understanding and the ability to see the bigger picture.

Ideally, you will bring:

• A minimum of five years' relevant post-qualification experience managing planned works, capital programmes or residential investment projects.
• A relevant qualification in Building Surveying, Quantity Surveying, Construction Management, Engineering, Architecture or a related discipline, with chartered status or actively working towards it.
• Demonstrable experience managing projects from initial scoping and procurement through to contractor management, delivery and completion.
• Strong budget management, financial forecasting and cost control experience.
• A good understanding of residential building construction, building defects, planned maintenance and relevant Irish Building Regulations.
• The ability to interpret technical information and translate it into practical, commercially sound investment decisions.
• Excellent communication and stakeholder management skills, including the ability to engage effectively with residents.
• A proactive, solutions-focused approach and the confidence to take ownership of a significant programme of work.
• A full clean driving licence and willingness to travel nationally.

Experience within residential property management, housing, property development, construction project management or consultancy would be particularly relevant.

Previous experience in the social housing sector would be advantageous but is not essential.

Why Consider This Opportunity?

What makes this role particularly attractive is the opportunity to join at an important stage in the development of the Asset Management function.

You will not simply be inheriting an established programme and maintaining the status quo. You will have the scope to contribute ideas, introduce improvements and influence how investment is planned and delivered.

The organisation offers:

• A newly created position with genuine ownership, autonomy and influence.
• A significant annual investment programme with scope for growth.
• The opportunity to contribute to long-term asset investment strategy.
• An ambitious and experienced leadership team driving positive change.
• Ongoing professional development and career progression opportunities.
