- Prepare concise monthly reports covering progress, milestones, risks, issues and construction activity.

- Manage project interfaces and stakeholder communications in a complex operational environment.

- Support NEC contract administration, early warnings and compensation-event processes where required.

- At least 7 years of experience in construction, civil engineering or infrastructure project delivery.

- Demonstrable site-based delivery experience on civil, airfield, roads, drainage, utilities or comparable infrastructure projects.

- A track record of delivering safely, on time, within budget and to the required quality standard.

- Good knowledge of project controls, risk management, change control and stakeholder engagement.

- Previous client-side or consultancy experience is preferred.

- Working knowledge of NEC contracts is required; aviation or other live operational experience is advantageous.

- A relevant engineering, construction or project management degree; professional accreditation is desirable.

WHAT IS ON OFFER

- A highly competitive permanent base salary of €85,000 - €100,000 (approximately £73,000 - £86,000) for comparison, depending on experience and professional standing.

- Primarily site based at Dublin Airport, with four days on site and one remote-working day each week.
