You'll monitor progress, provide technical assurance, support risk and safety reviews, and drive delivery performance across the project lifecycle.

This is an exciting opportunity to play a hands-on role in one of Ireland's most transformative infrastructure projects, helping deliver innovative transport solutions that will benefit Dublin for generations to come.
