Overview

Join to apply for the Senior EU Project Manager role at Codema - Dublin's Energy Agency.

Codema, Dublin's Energy Agency, is seeking a dynamic Project Manager to lead the management of a large European funded project researching and delivering renewable energy. This role also involves identifying and developing future opportunities and projects to support the company's growth and innovation initiatives, contributing to Dublin's low-carbon transition and helping to meet and exceed climate targets.

What you will do

As Project Manager, you will lead the delivery of large-scale European-funded projects, developing and managing comprehensive project plans — including task dependencies, resource allocation, timelines, and milestones — and ensuring delivery within scope, budget, and time constraints. You will collaborate with the wider Project Management team to oversee other externally funded initiatives.

A key part of the role is building strong relationships and communicating effectively with stakeholders, including Local Authorities, Universities, Government Departments, private consultants, and the European Commission, to ensure alignment with project objectives and compliance requirements.

You will coordinate internal teams to deliver project outputs, implement quality control measures, and maintain consistency with project standards. You will proactively identify funding opportunities and contribute to the development of high-quality project proposals that support the organisation's strategic priorities and implementation goals.
