Construction Administrator / Project Support Coordinator
Location: Kilkenny
Salary: €32,000–€36,000 depending on experience
We are looking for an organised, capable and detail-focused Construction Administrator / Project Support Coordinator to join our team in Kilkenny.
This is a varied role supporting our Project Manager and construction team. A large part of the position will involve coordinating materials and suppliers, while also providing general administration and planning support.
You don't necessarily need to have extensive construction experience. Training can be provided for the right person, although knowledge of construction, electrical work or construction materials would be a definite advantage.
The Role
The successful candidate will be responsible for:
- Ordering and coordinating construction and electrical materials
- Arranging materials such as tar, concrete and other associated products
- Liaising with suppliers and arranging deliveries
- Obtaining and comparing prices from suppliers
- Getting three quotations for larger orders where appropriate
- Challenging prices and negotiating to ensure we are getting good value

- Assisting the Project Manager with planning upcoming works
- Helping coordinate materials and requirements for jobs
- General project and office administration
- Using spreadsheets, email and computer systems to keep projects organised
- Communicating with suppliers, subcontractors and other members of the team
About You
We are looking for someone who is:
- Highly organised with excellent attention to detail
- Confident using computers, email and Microsoft Office/Excel
- Comfortable speaking with suppliers and asking questions
- Commercially minded and willing to challenge prices rather than simply accept the first quote
- Good at keeping track of multiple jobs and requirements
- A clear and confident English speaker
- Reliable, practical and able to use their own initiative
- Interested in learning and developing their knowledge of construction and project management
Construction experience is an advantage but is not essential. We are happy to provide training to someone with the right attitude, organisational ability and willingness to learn.
This would suit someone with experience in construction administration, office administration, project administration, coordination or a similar role, who would like to develop their knowledge of construction and become an important support to our Project Manager.
What We Offer
- Full training and support
- A varied role with responsibility
- The opportunity to develop knowledge of construction and project management
- A role where your organisation and attention to detail will have a direct impact on our projects
