About Us
Based in Ashbourne, Co. Meath & established in 1950, McKeon Contech Ltd T/a McKeon Group and Hereworks is a digital first innovator in the construction, building services and smart building sectors, specialising in the planning, management and delivery of detail-focused, high-quality projects for our clients. We operate across a range of sectors including commercial, hospitality, healthcare, pharmaceutical, industrial, retail and education.
Purpose of this role
Construction Sector Transformation & Client Delivery Innovation. At McKeon Group and Hereworks, we are setting out to fundamentally change how construction is designed, delivered and experienced. Our ambition is to create a truly digital-first approach to construction, one that enhances the client experience at every stage, simplifies operations for project teams and ensures the long-term performance of the environments we build. Moving away from the traditional view of Construction being finished on First Day of Business (FDOB) and rather considering the full Lifecycle of the building from Design to Last Day of Business (LDOB). This vision includes fully utilising BIM modelling with every stakeholder, design team member and subcontractor and ultimately handing over and maintaining a useful and meaningful model/twin of the building to the teams who will operate and use the building.
Key Objectives
Deliver a cohesive digital construction strategy that spans from pre-construction to post-handover
Build and lead a capable Digital Construction team focused on real-world implementation and continuous improvement
Standardise the use of BIM, VDC and model coordination across major projects – driving clarity, accuracy and better collaboration
Improve client experience through better visibility, real-time reporting and well-structured handover models
Ensure digital tools are fully embedded in the construction process, supporting site teams and subcontractors from day one.
Ensure the models used are useful for the end user of the building, considering how we improve the Human Experience for those who build, operate and utilise the building once complete
Strengthen McKeon Group’s reputation as a progressive, digitally enabled construction partner
Identify and trial innovations where they add tangible value to delivery and long-term performance
Collaborate across both McKeon Group and Hereworks to drive better outcomes for clients
Use of data analytics to improve efficiencies, report on progress & better predict outcomes

Innovation & Industry Engagement
Stay informed of industry trends such as AI in design, AR/VR for construction or Digital Twin developments
Test emerging solutions that address real-world challenges on site or in handover
Lead pilot projects and assess scalability based on measurable value
Represent the business at industry events and contribute to thought leadership in digital construction
Internal Collaboration & Business Alignment
