Are you looking for an unique role that will support one of Ireland's largest infrastructure projects? About the Role We are seeking an experienced Project Engineer (NEC) to support both project delivery and tender support activities on a major infrastructure programme in Dublin. This is a site-based position where you will operate under delegated authority from the Project Engineering Manager while working closely with the Project Manager to supervise works and manage NEC contract responsibilities. Alongside site duties, you will also provide technical and contractual input into bid and tender support, helping shape delivery strategies, methodologies, and compliance approaches for future works. This role is ideal for someone with strong NEC3/NEC4 ECC supervision experience and a background in complex infrastructure projects such as rail, tunnelling, or heavy civils. Key Responsibilities

• Act as the NEC Supervisor when delegated by the Project Engineering Manager
• Support the Project Manager in delivering the project successfully through effective site supervision and technical oversight
• Provide engineering, constructability, and NEC contract input to tender/bid support activities
• Ensure works comply with stage gate processes, regulations, standards, procedures, and legislation
• Review contractor documentation including:
• Quality Management Plans
• Inspection & Test Plans (ITPs)
• Method Statements
• Site-specific Risk Assessments
• Serve as the day-to-day site representative, ensuring:
• Safe and efficient working practices
• Minimal environmental and operational impact
• High-quality workmanship aligned with Works Information and best practice
• Agree and witness ongoing inspection and testing activities
• Coordinate inspection/testing of off-site manufactured equipment
• Conduct regular inspections to monitor quality and compliance
• Issue instructions (with Project Manager involvement where required) in accordance with the contract
• Track and ensure closure of non-conformance reports in a timely, auditable manner
• Liaise with client operations teams regarding site access, storage, and work areas
• Inspect completed works and confirm readiness for formal inspections and handover stages

Skills & Experience Required Essential:

• Strong expertise in NEC3/NEC4 contract management, particularly ECC supervision

Why This Role? This is a fantastic opportunity to take on a high-impact site role while also influencing future project wins through tender support. You'll be working in a structured NEC environment on significant infrastructure works, with the chance to shape both delivery on the ground and how projects are won and set up for success. It's a great fit for someone who enjoys being close to construction while also contributing at a more strategic, pre-construction level.
