  • Supporting contractual correspondence, claims assessment and contractor performance
  • Managing relationships with internal teams, consultants, contractors and stakeholders
  • Preparing clear, structured reports and presentations for senior management

  • 6+ years’ experience delivering major infrastructure projects
  • Strong civil engineering background, ideally in enabling works, utilities or early works

  • NEC4 experience is beneficial but not essential.
  • Degree in Engineering, Construction Management, Project Management or related discipline
  • Chartered or working towards Chartership (desirable)
  • Strong programme planning, risk management and change control capability
  • Excellent interpersonal, verbal and written communication skills
  • Ability to lead, collaborate and manage multidisciplinary teams
  • Organised, commercially aware and delivery‑focused
  • Full Irish/EU driving licence
  • Positive, proactive and adaptable approach
