Location: Dublin (Hybrid / Flexible)

A growing specialist contractor in the data‑centre and power‑infrastructure sector is seeking a Project Manager to oversee equipment‑delivery projects across Ireland and wider Europe. The business supplies and installs major electrical equipment — including transformers, MV/LV switchgear and associated systems — and delivers projects using specialist subcontractors and OEM partners.

This role suits a commercially minded Project Manager who is confident managing subcontractors, programmes and cost control. You will be the primary on‑the‑ground lead in Dublin, supported by a strong back‑office engineering team, with full autonomy to run projects from order through to final account.

Key Responsibilities

  • Manage equipment deliveries, site access and interfaces with main contractors

  • Maintain project documentation, RAMS, trackers and progress reports

  • Build strong customer relationships and provide clear reporting to management

Candidate Profile
  • Experience delivering construction, engineering, MEP, industrial or data‑centre projects

  • Strong subcontractor management and multi‑package coordination

  • Commercially disciplined: budgets, variations, invoicing, subcontractor applications

  • Background in mechanical, civil or electrical project management (no trades background required)

  • Experience with switchgear or transformers beneficial

  • Comfortable working independently with support from a remote engineering team

  • Able to travel across Ireland and Europe when required

Role Environment
  • Dublin‑based delivery with projects across Ireland, Spain and Portugal

  • Full autonomy — manage your own workload and operate independently

  • SME environment with seven years’ data‑centre experience

  • Opportunity to take ownership of all European operations as the business grows

  • Manage €10m–€19m project budgets with strong back‑office support

  • Potential to lead 1–2 junior team members as the portfolio expands
