Coordinate with design, procurement and construction teams through to project handover
Oversee the transition from pre-construction through to commissioning
Serve as the primary point of contact for clients, contractors and stakeholders
Prepare and present regular project status reports to senior leadership
Support bid work and ROI analysis where needed

What we're looking for

Proven Project Manager or Pre-Construction Manager with experience on renewable energy (solar PV preferred) or large electrical / infrastructure projects
Strong construction management fundamentals - budgets, schedules, procurement, risk
Confident leading stakeholder communication, both internal and client-facing
Experience developing project plans from pre-construction through to handover
Comfortable working hybrid across offices and sites in the Munster / South-East region

This role is based in Ireland - applicants must be based in Ireland.
