Construction Manager – Utility-Scale Solar | Ireland (Nationwide Sites)
We’re hiring on behalf of a pioneering EPC contractor in the Irish renewable energy sector, known for delivering high-quality, utility-scale solar PV farms across the country.
We’re looking for an experienced Construction Manager who thrives in a site-based, hands-on leadership role — someone who knows how to take a project from first dig to final energisation and isn’t afraid to lead from the front.
The Opportunity:
This is a critical execution-focused role — not bidding, not estimating — pure boots-on-the-ground delivery. You'll oversee the build of multiple solar farms from civil works to commissioning, managing site teams, subcontractors, and client relations to ensure each project is delivered safely, on time, and to spec.
* Be part of the clean energy transition, building the infrastructure that powers Ireland’s green future.
* Join a high-performing team with deep experience in delivering major renewable energy projects.
* Excellent career progression as the pipeline of solar farms continues to grow.
* Own the on-site execution of utility-scale solar projects (civil, mechanical, and electrical).
* Coordinate subcontractors, engineers, and site staff to hit timelines and budgets.
* Enforce best-in-class HSE practices across all sites.
* Ensure rigorous quality control, milestone tracking, and client reporting.
* Lead site walkdowns, resolve blockers, and ensure stakeholder satisfaction.
* Oversee project closeout, commissioning, and smooth handover.
What You’ll Need:
* 5+ years managing large-scale construction projects (ideally renewable energy or utilities).
* Strong grasp of project scheduling (MS Project / Primavera) and construction best practices.
* Deep understanding of Irish health & safety regulations – Safe Pass is a must.
* Proven leadership ability managing multi-disciplinary crews on active construction sites.
* Projects are located across Ireland. You’ll need flexibility for site-based work and occasional travel between sites.
