Job Title
Clerk of Works – Job Description (two days per week, €58,000 pro rata)
Project Overview
The project involves design and construction of a new 12-classroom primary school for the Department of Education in Knockanean, Ennis, County Clare. The proposed development has a gross internal floor area of 2,090 sqm and includes teaching, administrative, and communal facilities. The new two-storey building will provide modern, energy-efficient educational accommodation and will replace the existing school buildings, which have been fully vacated for the duration of the works. Work commenced on site on 14th July 2025, with completion scheduled for handover at the end of the construction programme.
The school site, measuring approximately 1.34 hectares, is located to the east of Ennis in a rural setting. It is a long, narrow plot with a north–south orientation and limited access from the southern end. The surrounding context includes residential and agricultural properties, and the site interfaces with existing playing pitches to the north, which are to be retained and integrated into the final development. External works will include car and bicycle parking, bus drop‑off zones, junior and senior play areas, ball courts, landscaped terraces, and enclosures for utilities and waste storage. The works also include the refurbishment of an adjacent overflow car park and necessary upgrades to the existing wastewater treatment plant.
