Your New Role
There are several roles covering Greater Dublin locations - Dublin // Kildare / Meath AND Wicklow / South Dublin.

You will work closely with third parties assigned to work in the field, ensuring the delivery of on-site connection services.
  • You will be responsible for overseeing connection requests to the water and wastewater network, working closely with Local Authorities and relevant parties to deliver connection services for customers.
  • You will also support the delivery of connection-related network reinforcement schemes driven by connection demand, working with counterparts from Capital Delivery, Local Authorities, or third-party service providers.


Selection of duties:
  • Provide excellent customer experience through the end-to-end connection process.
  • Monitor incoming site inspection requests in relation to non-standard New Connection applications
  • Conduct site assessments in accordance with Health and Safety Policies and Standards, and input requirements into work order
  • Carry out technical and field assessment of the new connections application as required
  • Document results of inspections and approve/close work order as applicable
  • Support the delivery of network development work when the need for new connections warrants expansion and reinforcement, working closely with the Local Authorities, Capital Delivery and/or third party delivery partners.
  • On-site QA for Water & Wastewater Infrastructure,
  • Liaising with internal functions including Asset Planning, Asset Delivery, Operations etc.
  • Evaluate and provide feedback on design infrastructure on and off development sites.


What You'll Need to Succeed
  • Have a relevant third level qualification in civil engineering

  • Experience with connection management in a utility/local authority and experience with water/wastewater is advantageous.
  • Knowledge of planning applications and connection regulations
  • Prior client-facing / interaction experience.
  • You must be able to work in the desired locations as mentioned above and have access to your own vehicle. (See below for remuneration)
  • You must also be able to work full-time in Ireland as, unfortunately, sponsorship will not be provided at this time.


What You'll Get in Return
In return for the above, you will work for a semi-state organisation that is involved in some of Ireland's key infrastructure projects.
You will have the opportunity for a "Job for life" once you have cemented your presence within the organisation.
You will work flexible working hours, in contrast to the private sector and, in a way, operate as your own boss with regard to autonomy, schedules and site visits etc.

  • You will work Monday to Friday 40 hours per week.
    24 days annual leave, 2.5 company days and all paid Bank Holidays.
  • There is hybrid working of up to 3 days per week, but it varies depending on the site requirements.
  • For this role, the salary on offer depends on your experience level.
    The budget for this is up to €85,000 per annum.

  • Civil Service Mileage for travel past your place of work, if multiple site visits are required. This mileage will cover fuel and the upkeep of a vehicle etc.
  • A Semi-State role is the natural progression for engineers that feel they need a change from the long, hectic weeks of a building / civil engineering contractor.
