Delivery Manager – Take Ownership of Ireland’s National Fibre Ring

  • Deliver a major national fibre backbone from route design through to live network

  • Hands-on civils-led role: ducting, chambers, wayleaves, and permits, not just spreadsheets

  • Hybrid working, with just 2 days on-site per week

A major telecommunications organisation is investing in the future of Ireland’s digital infrastructure, looking for a delivery manager who understands what it takes to get ducts in the ground.

As a Delivery Manager, you’ll lead the build of a new high-capacity, ultra-low-latency fibre ring linking multiple cities across Ireland.

You’ll own the full civils and fibre delivery programme, coordinating contractors, designers, and specialist teams across a nationwide rollout.

  • Why You’ll Love It Here:

    • Own a nationally significant infrastructure project from initial route planning to a fully operational network
  • Real civils content: route surveys, trenching, directional drilling, duct and chamber installation, road opening licences, and reinstatement

  • Direct visibility with senior leadership and C-level stakeholders

  • See your work in the ground and on the map, and make an immediate impact from day one

  • 16-month contract

  • You Will:

    • Take full ownership of the programme, leading civils and fibre delivery from design and surveys through construction, testing, and handover
  • Control schedule, budget, and risk, with real accountability for outcomes

  • Handle the practical blockers: wayleaves, landowner and local authority consents, permits, traffic management, and utility interfaces

  • Report progress, risks, and decisions directly to C-suite and senior stakeholders

  • Skills / Experience:

    • Background in civil engineering or civils-led infrastructure delivery (telecoms, utilities, roads, or similar)
