Due to exceptional company growth across Ireland Shareridge requires a Reinstatement Planner to join the team.

The Reinstatement Planner is a highly technical role responsible for the end-to-end operational planning, scheduling, and strategic resource management of reinstatement works following civil water works. This position ensures all backfilling and permanent surface reinstatements comply mathematically and structurally with national specifications, local authority guidelines, and Uisce Éireann frameworks.

This is not an administrative ticketing position; it requires rigorous technical planning, risk mitigation, and civil engineering logic to optimize regional site execution.

You will work on the 21/050 Uisce Éireann (Irish Water) and Shareridge Framework that is providing water and wastewater network services and works throughout Ireland.

Key Responsibilities & Duties

• Technical Program Scheduling: Construct, optimize, and maintain complex multi-site master schedules for civil reinstatement crews and specialised subcontractors across the Southeast and Midlands Region.
• Resource Optimization: Analyse and allocate heavy plant machinery, civil materials (asphalt, concrete, aggregates), and specialized labour units to guarantee maximum resource yield and minimal project downtime.
• Civil Timeline & Dependency Management: calculate critical paths for reinstatement phases, and mitigate project delays caused by structural constraints, weather dependencies, or traffic management requirements.
• Stakeholder & Regulatory Compliance: Interface directly with local authorities, Uisce Éireann technical teams, and Shareridge management team and regional engineers to coordinate road opening licenses (MRL System), street works compliance, and handovers.
• Feasibility & Operational Analysis: Review physical site parameters, engineering survey data, and dimensional scope metrics to perform feasibility assessments and determine ideal material deployment.
• Performance Assurance: Monitor Key Performance Indicators (KPIs), generating engineering-centric data models on output capacity, resource gaps, and structural reinstatement quality.
• Risk & H&S Alignment: Evaluate regional site risks and ensure planning schedules align with strict Shareridge Health & Safety guidelines, specific site restrictions, Quality and environmental protection protocols.

Required Qualifications & Experience

• Education: A Bachelor's degree or higher diploma in Construction Management, Project Management or a related technical field.
• Minimum of 1 year of proven operational planning or scheduling experience within utility sectors.
• Technical Competencies: Proficient with professional project management and planning software.
• Skills: Strong analytical capabilities to manipulate spatial and scheduling data along with excellent communication skills.
