• Experience managing multidisciplinary teams across civil and electrical packages
• Strong leadership style with the ability to drive performance and maintain high standards on site
• Commercially aware with solid reporting, planning, and risk management capability
• Able to build strong working relationships with clients, consultants, subcontractors, and internal delivery teams
• ESB or utility related project experience would be a strong advantage
• Focused, organised, and comfortable taking ownership of a technically demanding live infrastructure project
