General Foreman / Finishing Foreman – Dublin (Major Landmark Project)

We are recruiting an experienced General Foreman / Finishing Foreman for a major long-term Dublin project with a leading main contractor delivering a high-profile civic development.

This is a career-level site role, not a stop-gap job. You’ll be stepping into a well-structured delivery environment where finishing standards, sequencing, and programme control are taken seriously.

The Contractor

This is a highly regarded Irish main contractor with a long track record of delivering complex, high-value building projects across Ireland.

They operate across commercial, residential, healthcare, education, and public sector developments, typically in the €5m–€90m+ range, with a reputation built on consistent delivery, technical capability, and strong site execution.

What they are known for on the ground:

• Properly resourced sites — no constant firefighting
• Strong site management structure with clear reporting lines
• High expectations around finishing quality and detail
• Stable pipeline of secured work across Dublin and nationwide
• Long-term focus rather than short-term project churn
• Modern construction methods combined with practical site experience

This is a contractor where experienced foremen are trusted to run their sections properly and take real ownership.

The Project Environment

You will be joining a flagship civic development in North Dublin, forming part of a wider regeneration programme.

The build includes multiple complex elements and high-spec internal finishes, requiring disciplined coordination, sequencing, and tight control of subcontractor performance through final stages.

This is a live, active, fast-moving site where finishing performance will directly determine programme success and client handover.

The Role

As General / Finishing Foreman, you will take full responsibility for driving finishing works from structure through to completion and handover.

You will be the key site lead for:

• Full finishing sequence coordination across multiple trades
• Driving programme at final stages 
• Daily supervision of subcontractors and site activity
• Ensuring work is delivered right first time 
• Quality control across all internal and external finishes
• Short-term lookaheads, coordination meetings, and daily planning
• Supporting commissioning, handover, and close-out

This is a hands-on leadership role — you will be expected to own your area and drive it.

What Great Looks Like

The ideal candidate is someone who:

• Runs finishing stages with authority and control
• Keeps multiple trades aligned without conflict or delays
• Understands sequencing deeply and can spot issues early
• Maintains high standards even under programme pressure
• Is respected on site and can drive performance without noise
• Delivers clean handovers with minimal punch lists

If you are a foreman who takes pride in tight, professional delivery, you will stand out here.

What’s On Offer

• Long-term Dublin project with real visibility
• Strong site leadership structure and support
• Stable contractor with continuous secured workload
• Competitive salary (DOE) + Package 
• Genuine long-term progression into senior site roles
• Exposure to a flagship civic development of scale and complexity
• Properly run site environment where finishing quality matters

Why This Role Is Different

This is not a poorly planned build.

It’s a properly managed project with structure, sequencing, and accountability, where experienced foremen are given responsibility and expected to deliver to a high standard.

If you want a role where you can actually run your section properly and be trusted to deliver, this is it.
