The role will involve working closely with public sector clients, design teams, contractors, and specialist consultants to deliver high-quality healthcare facilities and education buildings that provide long-term value to communities.

Key Responsibilities

• Manage the successful delivery of healthcare and education projects through all stages of the project lifecycle, from business case, planning and design through procurement, construction, commissioning, and handover.
• Act as a key point of contact for clients, developing strong and effective relationships with senior stakeholders, public sector organisations, consultants, contractors, and statutory authorities.
• Lead and coordinate multidisciplinary project teams, ensuring effective collaboration across project management, cost management, design, engineering, and specialist consultancy disciplines.
• Develop, implement, and maintain project execution plans, programmes, budgets, procurement strategies, risk registers, and reporting frameworks.
• Monitor project performance against agreed programme, cost, scope, quality, and risk objectives, taking proactive action to address issues and maximise project outcomes.
• Manage project risks and opportunities, ensuring appropriate mitigation measures are identified, implemented, and regularly reviewed.
• Support and lead procurement activities in accordance with Irish public procurement legislation and relevant forms of contract.
• Coordinate the activities of design teams, contractors, and other project stakeholders to ensure effective project delivery and resolution of issues.
• Prepare clear and concise project reports, progress updates, dashboards, and recommendations for clients and senior management.
• Ensure compliance with health and safety legislation, environmental requirements, quality management systems, and AECOM governance standards.
• Contribute to the continuous improvement of project management processes, procedures, and best practice across the wider team.
• Provide guidance, mentoring, and support to project managers and junior team members, helping to develop capability and promote a collaborative and high-performing project environment.
