If you’re the sort of Site Supervisor who needs micromanaging… this won’t be for you.
We’re not hiring a clipboard carrier.
We’re hiring someone who knows how to run a site.
Someone who spots risks before they become problems.
Someone who gives a damn about quality—and the people who deliver it.
Someone who wants more than “another job”—they want to be trusted with responsibility, get decent training, and actually grow their career.
This is a permanent role with Kirby Group Engineering—an Irish success story delivering some of Europe’s most complex builds in data centres, pharma and power.
We’ve got more work than we can handle, which is why we’re looking for you.
The Job
It’s an Electrical Site Supervisor role.
The clue’s in the name: you’ll supervise all electrical works onsite, from boots-on-ground subcontractors to snag-free handover.
You’ll be the right hand of the Project Manager. The person keeping the show on the road. The calm in the storm when 10 things are going wrong at once.
You’ll:
- Manage subcontractors and make sure the right stuff gets done, in the right order, to the right standard.
- Keep productivity high, standards higher, and H&S where it needs to be.
- Represent Kirby to clients and stakeholders like a grown-up.
- Know the difference between a paper plan and the reality of an active site.
What You’ll Need
- A recognised electrical apprenticeship or trade cert.
- 5+ years running electrical works on live construction sites (if those were pharma or data centres, even better).
- Experience managing people and solving problems without drama.
- Solid understanding of HSEQ (IOSH/NEBOSH nice to have, but not a deal-breaker).
- A low tolerance for nonsense and a high bar for quality.
What’s In It For You?
We invest in our people. That’s not a slogan—it’s an actual line item in the budget.
Through Kirby Academy, you’ll have access to leadership development, career progression, and technical upskilling.
You’ll also get:
- A competitive salary and benefits package (based on experience).
- The chance to work on some of Europe’s most advanced builds.
- A supportive team that won’t hang you out to dry.
- And a business that genuinely gives a toss about building careers, not just projects.

Apply now—or don’t. But if you’re going to apply, show us why you’re the one we should trust with the next high-stakes site.
