* Take primary responsibility for all site Health & Safety procedures, managing the safety file and ensuring strict compliance with Irish legislation.
* Conduct continuous quality control checks, managing snagging lists and ensuring work is delivered to the specified finish.
* Assist in materials procurement, plant hire scheduling, and general cost control on site, working closely with the Quantity Surveyor.
Candidate Profile
* A relevant trade background combined with formal education (e.g., Construction Management, Engineering, or a recognized trade qualification).
* A minimum of 4 years’ experience as a Site Manager or General Foreman, preferably gained with a reputable medium-sized contractor.
* Proven experience in delivering residential builds or small/medium commercial projects (up to €10 million value).
* Highly practical and proactive, capable of managing all site elements simultaneously.
* Thorough knowledge of Irish building regulations and safety requirements.
* Valid Safe Pass and First Aid certification is essential.
