Civic is a team of system thinkers in the built environment, creating positive impact for people, places and the planet.
We want our work to have a positive impact on the environment — helping people to live healthier, happier lives while respecting natural limits. We build without destroying, explore without exploiting, and seek to reuse rather than just consume. Above all, we listen, learn, and aim to create a lasting legacy.
Thriving together, today we have a team of over 200 members working across the UK, all united by our creative belief, bringing art and science together to solve problems. Our award-winning practice has studios in Manchester, London, Leeds, Glasgow, Edinburgh and Dublin.

As an Associate Director, you will lead multidisciplinary project teams and oversee the delivery of a diverse portfolio of projects across Ireland, including residential, education, commercial, infrastructure, regeneration and public realm developments. You will combine technical leadership with strong commercial awareness, ensuring projects are delivered to a high standard, on programme and profitably.
Working closely with the leadership team, you will contribute to business planning, team development, client relationship management and business development activities. You will also play a central role in growing our presence in the Irish market through the development of new and existing client relationships.
