Role Overview:
Reporting to the Director of Real Estate Investment, the successful candidate will take the lead in managing development projects from post-acquisition through to project completion. This role involves working across a portfolio of developments rather than being tied to a single project. You’ll lead some projects and support other Development Managers on additional schemes, particularly during the planning and pre-construction phases. Given the high-profile nature of these developments, the role requires a candidate with strong character, ambition, a robust work ethic, and integrity.

- Project Leadership: Ensuring timely communication with management on project progress and budget performance.
- Team and Consultant Management: Selecting and appointing sub-consultants, planning teams, design teams, and construction contractors.
- Design Coordination: Overseeing and managing design team activities during the planning, design, and construction phases.
- Stakeholder Management: Managing interfaces with planners, utility providers, and statutory bodies.
- Contract Administration: Administering contracts on behalf of the client and ensuring construction teams meet contractual, quality, cost, and program requirements.
- Construction Oversight: Ensuring the delivery of high-quality construction, adhering strictly to contract terms, with a particular focus on quality control.
Required Experience:
To be considered for this role, you will need:
- At least 5 years of post-graduation experience in delivering large-scale construction projects in a technical role.
- A degree in a relevant field, with chartered status or progression towards chartership being an advantage.
- Technical Skills: Expertise in technical report writing, with proven ability to plan and coordinate activities on multi-million-euro projects.
- Leadership: Experience leading large multidisciplinary teams, with strong leadership and people management skills.
- Communication: Excellent verbal and written communication skills, with the ability to lead and perform under pressure.
- Technical Proficiency: Strong IT skills, ideally with knowledge of BIM and project planning software.
What’s on Offer:
Our client offers a competitive base salary, an attractive benefits package, and a flexible working environment, all from a central Dublin office. While this is not a remote or hybrid role, a degree of flexibility is available. The company also offers significant opportunities for career advancement.
