Utilities Manager - Civil Engineering - Dublin

Description

Oversee works by others to ensure SU apparatus is protected at all times, including implementation of safe digging techniques, physical warnings, permits to dig and compliance requirements.

Support procurement and tendering of subcontract works, materials and equipment associated with diversion works.

You’ll bring technical credibility, strong communication skills and the confidence to interface with a wide range of stakeholders. Whether coordinating CCTV drainage surveys, overseeing GPR and trial pitting, resolving clashes using 3D models, or managing direct labour and subcontract teams, you’ll help maintain project momentum and ensure that services and communities remain supported throughout delivery.

In this pivotal role, you’ll be at the heart of a fast‑paced project environment—working closely with statutory undertakers, designers, subcontractors, Local Authorities and wider project teams to keep essential services moving while construction progresses. From early‑stage investigations and clash detection, to managing on‑site diversions and final handovers, you’ll be the driving force ensuring that all utility activities are delivered safely, compliantly and on programme.
