Dublin City Council

Currently listing 9 positions from its offices at Civic Offices, Wood Quay, Dublin 8, jobs at Dublin City Council cover planning, technology, parks, fire services, and graduate opportunities within Ireland's largest local authority. The openings reflect the breadth of a public body responsible for everything from urban planning and housing to emergency services and cultural programming.

The Senior Executive Planner role is a high-impact position within the council's planning department, working on development management, strategic planning policy, and major urban regeneration projects at a time when Dublin faces intense pressure on housing supply and infrastructure. Candidates with chartered membership of the IPI or RTPI and experience navigating Part VIII processes, strategic housing developments (SHDs), or large-scale residential developments (LRDs) will find this role particularly relevant.

Public safety and emergency services feature with the Executive Fire Prevention Officer position, which enforces fire safety regulations across commercial and residential buildings — a role of growing importance given the city's construction boom and legacy building stock. The Access Officer role ensures the council's services and facilities meet disability access requirements under the Disability Act 2005.

Technology and digital positions signal the council's investment in modern public services. The Assistant ICT Manager oversees technology infrastructure and projects across the organisation, while the graduate programme offers three distinctive entry points: a Graduate GIS Analyst working with spatial data and mapping; a Graduate Videographer producing content for the council's communications channels; and a Graduate Service Designer applying user-centred design methodology to improve public services.

Parks and green spaces — a significant portfolio for Dublin City Council — feature through the Senior Parks and Landscapes Officer role, which manages the design, development, and maintenance of urban parks, playgrounds, and biodiversity projects.

The Beach Lifeguard position at Dollymount Strand is a seasonal role that underscores the diversity of jobs at Dublin City Council — from strategic planning desks at Wood Quay to one of Dublin's most popular beaches.

For professionals exploring jobs at Dublin City Council, the appeal lies in meaningful public service, competitive public sector pay scales with pension benefits, and the chance to shape the future of Ireland's capital.
