Job Description:

At IPS, we are global leaders in developing innovative solutions for the consulting, architecture, engineering, project controls, procurement, construction management, and CQV of technically complex facilities, primarily in the life sciences industry.

We are looking for a dynamic Construction Project Director with an uncompromising commitment to safety and quality to join our Project Delivery and Construction team at a job site near Dublin Ireland.

You’ll oversee multiple EPCMV Project Teams’ day-to-day execution within the Central region. Your focus will be on the support of EPCMV and CM services sales, overseeing the detailed execution of projects by teams from initiation to close out, development of staff, and operational performance.

In this role, you’ll lead construction project teams to help them deliver projects successfully – safely, on time, and on budget. Projects will range from tenant improvements to major manufacturing facilities. You’ll guide project delivery teams, establishing goals and execution plans, and monitoring for performance.
You’ll also oversee their development of contracts, subcontracts, estimates, and budgets. Regular review of project performance will occur, and you’ll work with PMs to resolve any project cost, schedule, or quality issues. You will also provide day-to-day direction of all project-specific Project Delivery group operations, including preconstruction, estimating, procurement, project management, construction site management, and construction site safety.

Additionally, you will direct the change management process, providing work-in-place analysis with the project services group.

As the Construction Project Director, your team will look to you for hiring, training, and development of project delivery staff. Site visits will occur as needed, to monitor construction progress. You’ll develop new business, work with senior leadership on proposals and presentations, and help to grow our presence in the Central region.

You’ll act as a secondary point of contact for PMs for clients. Collaboration is key, as you work with preconstruction, project controls, procurement, quality, and safety by allocating resources. If project risks are identified, you’ll work to mitigate those in partnership with senior leadership.

Come join one of the fastest-growing companies in the AEC industry with a global reach that spans four continents! You will be part of a caring, flexible team that oversees the construction of world-class pharmaceutical manufacturing facilities.

Qualifications & Requirements:

  • Bachelor's degree in engineering, Construction Management or a related discipline or an equivalent technical degree.
  • 15+ years of experience in Project Delivery or a related discipline, including time in leadership positions.
  • Experience managing multi-million-dollar construction projects.

  • You will visit Client sites and will be required to adhere to stated safety rules.
