Project Manager

This is a cracking opportunity for an experienced Project Manager to join a well-established and growing team based in Carlow. This is a full-time, permanent position and ideal for someone who thrives in delivering full-lifecycle water and wastewater infrastructure projects, from early design through to handover.

The role offers a great mix of office-based work and site visits, and you’ll be involved in everything from developing design drawings and technical submissions, right through to overseeing site crews and managing handovers.

If you're looking to step into a busy, rewarding role with a long-term pipeline of work, this is a solid move. It’s a great opportunity for someone who enjoys ownership, autonomy, and being hands-on with their projects.
