About the job
PMO Specialist (Delivery) | Dublin (Hybrid) | Permanent
A commercially focused growth division of a large Irish organisation is building out its PMO function, and is hiring a PMO Specialist to take ownership of delivery oversight across a portfolio of scaling businesses.
This is a genuinely greenfield role. There is no delivery framework in place today, no inherited playbook, and no template to follow. The person who takes this on will decide what good delivery governance looks like here, build it, and then run it.
What you’ll do
- Own delivery oversight across a multi-business project portfolio, from initiation through to close
- Design and embed project controls, stage gates, and assurance standards where none currently exist
- Run project boards and hold delivery owners to commitments, milestones, and reporting deadlines
- Monitor portfolio health and escalate early rather than reporting after the fact
- Work directly with commercial, operational, and technical leads across several separate businesses
What we’re looking for
- Circa 10 years’ experience in project delivery, controls, or PMO, ideally gained in a construction, main contractor, or capital projects environment
- An engineering or project management background, with a relevant qualification
- Real self-starter credentials — you will need to map out your own first six months
- Strong stakeholder management, specifically the ability to chase, challenge, and follow up with senior people who don’t report to you
- Comfort with technology and process improvement, including AI tools and the Microsoft stack. This is not an IT project management role
- A full driving licence is essential — the role covers multiple sites not always served by public transport
The practicals
Permanent role at middle-management grade, hybrid with two days on site in Dublin
