• Monitor progress, productivity, quality and safety, identifying and resolving potential delays before they impact the programme.

The Ideal Candidate

• Proven experience as a Civils Site Manager, General Foreman or in a similar senior role on residential or infrastructure projects.

• Strong technical knowledge of groundworks, roads, drainage and underground services.

• Excellent organisational and leadership skills, with the ability to plan ahead and manage several work fronts simultaneously.

• A civil engineering qualification would be advantageous, although extensive practical experience will be equally valued.

• Experience dealing with Uisce Éireann, local authorities and utility providers would be beneficial.

• A proactive, commercially aware individual who can take ownership of the civil works programme and work effectively with the wider construction team.

What's on Offer?

• Salary up to €85,000, depending on experience.

• Company vehicle.

• Performance-related bonus.

• Additional benefits package.

• Permanent position with an established residential developer.

• Approximately eight years of planned work across three major developments in Sligo.
