Are you an experienced and driven Project Manager ready to lead critical infrastructure projects in the energy sector? Join us in shaping Ireland’s sustainable future by delivering high-impact civil engineering projects that support the country’s evolving energy needs.

We’re seeking an experienced Project Manager to lead multidisciplinary teams—Site Agents, Engineers, Supervisors, and subcontractors—ensuring the safe, on-time, and high-quality delivery of complex civil works. Based in County Kerry, you will play a pivotal role in the successful execution of energy infrastructure projects that align with our values, sustainability ambitions, and long-term strategy.

  • Health & Safety Leadership: Champion Health, Safety, Quality & Environmental (HSQE) excellence across every phase of the project, in full compliance with Irish regulations and industry best practices.
  • Team Management: Provide clear leadership and technical guidance to engineers, operatives, and subcontractors. Act as a mentor to junior staff and foster a collaborative, high-performing team culture.
  • Project Delivery: Plan and manage civil works to meet programme milestones, ensuring alignment with strategic energy goals.
  • Drive Results: Oversee all aspects of project delivery—including budget control, resource management, design coordination, and contract administration.
  • Client Engagement: Build strong relationships with clients, utility providers, and public stakeholders, acting as a trusted ambassador for the business.
  • Sustainability Focus: Align procurement and delivery strategies with environmental objectives and long-term value creation.
  • Ensure Compliance: Oversee licensing, permitting, and public works contract requirements with precision and attention to detail.
  • Continuous Improvement: Report regularly on progress, share insights, and contribute to the company’s culture of learning and innovation.

What You’ll Bring

  • A degree in Civil Engineering (or a related field). Equivalent experience will be considered.
  • Chartered or working towards chartership with Engineers Ireland (or similar professional body).
  • 5+ years’ experience in a Project Manager role—ideally in energy, utilities, or large-scale infrastructure.
  • Deep knowledge of Irish construction regulations, public procurement frameworks, and energy-sector delivery models.
  • Proven leadership, communication, and team-building abilities.
  • A proactive, solutions-focused approach to project delivery.
  • Full working rights in Ireland and a full clean Irish/EU driver’s licence.

Why Join Us?

  • Meaningful Work: Be part of projects that directly support Ireland’s clean energy transition.
  • Collaborative Culture: Join a purpose-driven team that values safety, integrity, and innovation.
  • Career Growth: We invest in professional development, mentorship, and chartership support.
