We are working with a premier global collective of designers, advisors, and experts dedicated to sustainable development. Within this organisation, their aviation team is a recognised leader in delivering transformative infrastructure. From planning state-of-the-art terminals to engineering world-class runways, they are at the absolute forefront of the aviation industry.

The Opportunity

This is a defining career opportunity for an ambitious Project Manager to join a growing Aviation team based in Dublin.

You will step into a pivotal role managing key packages within one of the largest capital investments in aviation infrastructure Ireland has ever seen, a landmark, multi-billion-euro airport capital development programme. This extensive, multi-year plan involves transformative upgrades to terminal spaces, baggage systems, airfield resilience, advanced security technologies, and critical sustainability infrastructure.

Furthermore, because this aviation team operates a global center of excellence model, your scope won't be limited to Ireland; you will regularly collaborate on and support major international airport masterplans and development schemes across Europe, the Americas, and the Middle East.

Key Responsibilities

Project Delivery & Governance

Lead the end-to-end delivery of complex, multidisciplinary aviation infrastructure projects (from initial feasibility and planning through to detailed design, construction, and final Operational Readiness [ORAT]).
Manage project scopes, budgets, schedules, and risk registers, ensuring all milestones are met safely and within financial constraints.
Implement robust project governance frameworks aligned with rigorous quality standards and relevant national and international aviation regulations.

Stakeholder & Client Management

Act as a trusted point of contact for key client bodies, navigating complex operational environments with minimal disruption to live, active airport facilities.
Coordinate multidisciplinary teams, including structural/civil engineers, transport planners, sustainability consultants, and specialist aviation technology vendors.

Essential Requirements

Education: A bachelor's degree in Civil Engineering, Structural Engineering, Project Management, Construction Management, Architecture, or a closely related field.
Experience: 2+ years of proven project management experience, with a solid track record of delivering major infrastructure, heavy civil, or commercial construction projects.
Professional Alignment: Strong commercial acumen, excellent risk management capabilities, and a deep understanding of contractual frameworks (e.g., NEC or FIDIC contracts).
Communication: Exceptional interpersonal and communication skills, with the ability to manage high-profile external stakeholders and collaborative joint ventures.

Desirable (But Not Essential)

Direct experience working within live airfield or terminal environments (understanding the nuances of airside vs. landside project execution).
Familiarity with European Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) or International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) standards.

What's on Offer

Unrivalled Project Portfolio: The chance to put your stamp on a nation's most high-profile public infrastructure expansion while gaining exposure to international airport hubs.
Culture of Collaboration: A flexible, inclusive, and highly supportive work environment built on collective ingenuity.
Total Rewards Package: Highly competitive salary, comprehensive health and wellness benefits, a robust pension scheme, and performance-related bonuses.
Continuous Growth: Dedicated funding for professional development, chartership pathways, and access to a global internal mobility network.
