We are expanding our talented team and currently seeking a Senior Civil Engineer to join our team in our Galway or Dublin office. This role offers the opportunity to shape impactful civil projects across residential, healthcare, education, and sports sectors.

What We’re Looking For:

We’re seeking a passionate and experienced Senior Civil Engineer who thrives in a collaborative environment and is ready to take the lead on exciting, diverse projects. You'll hold a Level 8 qualification in Engineering (or equivalent) and be a Chartered Member of Engineers Ireland.

To note, following TOBIN's recent acquisition by AtkinsRéalis, TOBIN now operates as TOBIN, an AtkinsRéalis Company. Candidates applying for this position will become part of the wider AtkinsRéalis group, a world-leading engineering and project management company.

Your Role Will Include:

• Project Planning & Resource Management: Leading the planning, programming, and allocation of resources in consultation with the Operations Director, and managing those resources throughout the project lifecycle.
• Quality Assurance: Ensuring all project activities meet the highest standards of quality, safety, and environmental compliance (QMS/EMS/OHSAS).
• Regulatory Compliance: Overseeing adherence to legal and statutory obligations, including Health & Safety and BCAR requirements.
• Financial Oversight: Managing project cash flow, setting accurate invoicing schedules, issuing invoices, following up with clients, and overseeing project debtors.
• Client & Team Communication: Acting as the key liaison between clients, internal teams, and senior management to ensure alignment and transparency.
• Project Definition & Scope: Establishing clear project briefs, work breakdown structures (WBS), and securing client agreement on terms and conditions.
• Programme Management: Developing and maintaining agreed project timelines in collaboration with clients.
• Team Coordination: Ensuring all team members - including cross-divisional collaborators - understand their roles, responsibilities, and budget constraints (time and expenses).
• Sub-consultant Management: Ensuring compliance with company procedures for engaging and managing sub-consultants.
• Design Oversight: Guaranteeing that all designs are prepared by qualified personnel and independently reviewed before submission to the client.
• Client-Focused Delivery: Ensuring TOBIN delivers precisely what the client has requested - no more, no less - with a focus on value and efficiency.

The Skills Required of a Senior Civil Engineer:

• Strong communication and interpersonal skills.
• Deep understanding of consultancy and construction contracts, including Public Works Management Framework.
• Proficiency in project management systems and a proactive, solutions-focused mindset.
• A collaborative spirit and the confidence to ask for support when needed - we see this as a strength, not a weakness.
