Based in Co Westmeath, the company has a strong pipeline of work across technically demanding sectors and is looking for a Project Assistant to support its engineering and project delivery teams.

The Role: Project Assistant

As Project Assistant, you will be based primarily out of the company’s Co Westmeath office, supporting Project Engineers and Project Managers with the day-to-day coordination and administration of live engineering projects.

About You

You will be organised, practical and comfortable working in a project environment where priorities can change as works progress.

You should have good attention to detail and be confident communicating with Project Managers, Engineers, suppliers and site teams.

What’s on Offer

Salary: Up to €45,000 DOE

Benefits:

  • 37-hour working week
  • Site and office-based engineering exposure
  • Training and career progression
