RPS Group

With 16 open positions across Dublin, Cork, and regional offices, jobs at RPS Group span the environmental, planning, and engineering consultancy disciplines that the firm is known for across its Irish operations. As a multidisciplinary consultancy working on infrastructure, energy, and property projects, RPS offers a breadth of roles that suit both technical specialists and project-focused professionals.

Environmental consulting is a core strength, and the current listings reflect this with positions for Environmental Scientists, Ecologists, Hydrologists, and Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) specialists. These roles involve preparing environmental reports for planning applications, conducting habitat surveys, and advising clients on compliance with EPA regulations, EU Habitats Directive, and Water Framework Directive requirements. Candidates with fieldwork experience and expertise in ecological assessment, noise modelling, or air quality analysis will find strong alignment with what jobs at RPS Group demand.

Planning and development consultancy positions complement the environmental roles. Planners and Planning Consultants work on strategic housing developments, wind farm projects, and commercial planning applications — navigating Ireland's An Bord Pleanála process and local authority requirements. For professionals with chartership through the RTPI or IPI, these roles offer involvement in some of the most consequential development proposals in the market.

The engineering side includes Civil Engineers, Transport Planners, and Project Managers who deliver infrastructure design and project oversight for public and private sector clients. Road design, drainage, and site development — frequently using AutoCAD, Civil 3D, and MicroDrainage — feature across these openings, particularly on projects funded by Transport Infrastructure Ireland (TII) or local authority capital programmes.

Jobs at RPS Group also extend into heritage and archaeology, with specialist consulting roles that support planning compliance for developments in archaeologically sensitive areas. This niche capability, combined with the firm's environmental and planning services, makes RPS one of the more distinctive consultancies for candidates who want to work at the intersection of the built and natural environment.

With offices in Dublin, Cork, Galway, and Limerick, the geographic spread means candidates aren't confined to the capital, and several roles offer hybrid working arrangements alongside project site visits across the country.
