Construction Manager – Dublin

Join a mission-driven team transforming Ireland's housing future

Are you a hands-on Construction Manager ready to take the lead on impactful residential and regeneration projects?

Together with the Land Development Agency (LDA), we're looking for experienced professionals who can manage large-scale construction sites, coordinate with teams on the ground, and keep projects moving from planning to delivery.

This role isn't just about spreadsheets – it's about real leadership on real sites, working with people, solving problems, and making things happen.

If you're practical, organised, and thrive in a fast-paced environment – let's talk.

About the Land Development Agency (LDA)

The Land Development Agency (LDA) is a commercial, semi-State body that seeks to maximise the supply of affordable homes on public and other land in a financially sustainable manner, supporting the creation of thriving communities and delivering ongoing positive social impact.

It also works in partnership with the country's largest and most experienced homebuilders and will deliver a further 8, homes under the Government's Project Tosaigh initiative.

The Role
