AECOM is seeking an experienced Enabling Works Project Manager to join our team in Dublin.

What you’ll do

The Enabling Works Project Manager is responsible for the strategic planning, coordination, and delivery of early-stage enabling works across major infrastructure or development programmes. This includes activities such as site preparation, utility diversions, demolition, surveys, and other essential pre-construction works. The role ensures these activities are completed safely, on time, within budget, and to the required quality standards, enabling a smooth transition into the main construction phase.

Within the programme, the Enabling Works Project Manager plays a key role in the successful delivery of all enabling works packages. This involves supporting the management and coordination of stakeholders and interface partners throughout all project phases, including design, planning, procurement, construction, and operations. The position is critical in aligning early works with wider programme objectives, particularly in relation to operational integration, while ensuring adherence to safety, environmental, and quality requirements.

Key responsibilities include:

Ensure each package is delivered in line with programme timelines, regulatory requirements, and stakeholder expectations.
Liaise with local authorities, heritage and environmental bodies, and utility providers to maintain compliance and effective coordination.
Oversee the integration of enabling works into the wider programme, minimising disruption to subsequent phases.
Monitor and report on progress, risks, and mitigation strategies related to enabling works.
Ensure all activities are carried out with a strong focus on safety, environmental protection, and community impact.
Define and manage project scope, budget, and schedules.
Track project performance and adjust plans where necessary to maintain delivery objectives.
Ensure compliance with all relevant safety regulations and building codes.
Prepare and present clear, accurate progress reports to stakeholders.
Proactively identify and resolve issues or delays to keep projects on track.
Undertake site inspections and enforce quality control standards.
Manage and administer contracts for individual projects within the wider programme.
Monitor, track, and report on project expenditure, schedule, milestones, change control, and quality performance.
