Job description

Our client is an established civil engineering and infrastructure contractor delivering projects across transport, utilities and public infrastructure in Ireland. Their work supports the networks that communities and businesses depend on every day, and covers schemes of significant scale, complexity and public importance.

The business has built a strong reputation for safe, reliable and technically capable delivery, with long-standing relationships across public bodies, local authorities, utilities and private clients. Much of its work comes through repeat business and frameworks, providing stability and a clear view of future projects.

With national investment in infrastructure set to remain strong for years to come, the business is in a period of sustained growth and is expanding its senior delivery team in Dublin. Immediate starts are available, and relocation support may be offered to suitable candidates, making this an excellent opportunity for experienced professionals from Ireland, the UK and further afield.

WORKING ENVIRONMENT & PROJECTS

As Senior Project Manager, you will take overall responsibility for the delivery of large civil and infrastructure projects. Schemes may include roads and transport works, bridges and structures, utilities, drainage and public realm projects, often delivered in live urban environments with significant stakeholder and traffic management interfaces.

You will lead multidisciplinary project teams of engineers, site managers, foremen and subcontractors, working closely with clients, designers, local authorities and community stakeholders. The culture is collaborative and safety-led, and senior project leaders are trusted with genuine ownership while being backed by an experienced management team.

The role covers the full project lifecycle, from tender handover and mobilisation through construction, completion and close-out. It offers long-term involvement in a strong pipeline of nationally significant work, and a clear route into Contracts Manager, Project Director and wider senior leadership roles.

RESPONSIBILITIES

• Manage project programmes, budgets and resources to ensure delivery on time, within cost and to the required quality
• Lead and develop project teams, including Project Managers, Site Managers, Engineers and Foremen
• Oversee contract administration, change management, risk and reporting under PWC, NEC and other forms of contract
• Ensure the highest standards of health and safety, quality and environmental performance on all sites
• Manage key interfaces including traffic management, utilities, third parties and local authorities
• Build strong relationships with clients, designers and community stakeholders to support repeat work and frameworks
• Report on project performance to senior management and contribute to tender reviews and pre‑construction planning

WHAT YOU NEED

• Proven experience as a Senior Project Manager or Project Manager delivering civil engineering or infrastructure projects
• A degree in Civil Engineering or a related discipline
• A strong track record on roads, bridges, utilities, drainage or other public infrastructure schemes
• Strong understanding of programme, cost and contract management under PWC and/or NEC
• Experience in the Irish market or of TII standards is beneficial, but candidates from the UK and other markets are encouraged to apply
• Chartered Engineer status (Engineers Ireland or ICE) is beneficial
• Excellent leadership, communication and stakeholder management skills, and a full clean driving licence

WHAT YOU'LL GET IN RETURN

This role offers a salary of €110,000 plus a company vehicle, with potential relocation packages for suitable candidates and immediate starts available. More importantly, it is a long‑term career platform: you will lead significant infrastructure projects within an established contractor that has a secure pipeline in a growing market, supported by a leadership team that invests in its people and offers a clear route into senior leadership.
