Project Manager (Renewable / ESB Frameworks)
Kildare. Hybrid, 3 days in the office. Some site travel across Ireland.
You're a few years into engineering or project work, you're good at it, and you've started to feel the ceiling. The senior people own the client relationships and the interesting decisions. You do the legwork. There's no obvious next rung, or if there is, someone's standing on it.
This role is the rung.
You'd come in under an experienced manager, who runs the ESB framework side, building out substations and grid connections for renewable projects.
He's been doing this a long time and he wants someone to learn the whole thing from him: the procurement calls, the client updates, the supplier and contractor relationships, the awkward bits on site that need sorting before they become problems. Not to fetch and carry. To take real work off his plate and grow into running your own projects.
It's a small business, so the job is broad by design. One day it's switchgear procurement, the next it's a weekly client meeting or a contractor who needs managing. If you want to be purely a project manager and nothing else, this isn't it. If you like the variety and want to come out the other side knowing how the whole job works end to end, it is.
You'll also get exposure to the private-developer project side, not just frameworks, if you want the broader experience.
What you'll need
The setup
Around 100 people, independent, doing the full turnkey job in-house: design, build, commission. They've just brought civil design in-house too and the design workload is climbing, so there's momentum behind this.
Hybrid works once you're settled, but for the first six months they'll want you in the Kildare office most of the week while you learn the ropes. The office is just off the N7, easy enough from Dublin, the Midlands or further afield.
