Senior Project Manager

COMPANY OVERVIEW

Our client is an established civil engineering and infrastructure contractor with a strong regional presence and a national reputation for technically capable delivery. They operate across transport, water, energy and public realm infrastructure for both public and private sector clients.

The business holds positions on several long-term frameworks, which has given it a stable and largely repeat workload rather than a reliance on one-off competitive tendering. That stability is reflected in unusually low turnover among its senior delivery staff.

Sustained national investment in infrastructure has driven steady growth, and the business is strengthening its project management capability to deliver an expanding regional portfolio.

The culture is practical, engineering-led and refreshingly free of unnecessary hierarchy. Project managers are trusted to run their sites, with senior management genuinely accessible when needed.

WORKING ENVIRONMENT & PROJECTS

You will take responsibility for the delivery of major civils and infrastructure schemes across the region, typically involving significant earthworks, structures, drainage and utilities packages, often delivered within live or constrained environments.

Projects are delivered through a mix of framework and direct appointments, working closely with local authorities, semi-state bodies, designers and a well-established supply chain. Stakeholder management and public interface form a meaningful part of the role.

You will be supported by experienced engineering, commercial and health and safety functions, and will have real ownership of programme and delivery strategy on your schemes. The regional focus keeps travel sensible and predictable.

RESPONSIBILITIES

• Manage the delivery of civils and infrastructure projects from mobilisation through to completion
• Control programme, budget, procurement and resource planning across the project
• Coordinate site teams, subcontractors, designers and utility providers throughout delivery
• Manage relationships with clients, local authorities, statutory bodies and the public
• Oversee contract administration, measurement, change control and project reporting
• Drive health, safety, environmental and quality performance across all works
• Manage temporary works, traffic management and construction methodology in constrained environments
• Support and develop site engineers and junior project staff

WHAT YOU NEED

• Proven experience as a Project Manager or Senior Project Manager on civil engineering or infrastructure projects
• Background with a civils contractor, main contractor or client-side delivery organisation
• Experience across roads, water, utilities, structures or similar infrastructure disciplines
• Strong understanding of programme management, temporary works and site methodology
• Sound commercial awareness, including measurement and change management
• Excellent stakeholder management skills, including public and statutory interface
• Degree in Civil Engineering, Construction Management or a related discipline preferred

WHAT YOU'LL GET IN RETURN

A base salary of €95,000 – €110,000 is on offer, alongside a company vehicle, performance-related bonus, pension and healthcare. Relocation support is available for candidates moving to the region.

The framework workload behind this role means long-term security rather than project-to-project uncertainty, with a clear route towards Contracts Manager level. For an experienced infrastructure professional who wants scale of project without a Dublin commute, this is a rare combination.
