The Department of Housing is looking to hire three project officers in the west of Ireland for the LIFE on Machair project.
The LIFE on machair project officer roles are located in Co Donegal and Co Mayo.
The aim of these roles is to support delivery of project actions including the LIFE on Machair restoration programme, associated workshops and restoration interventions, and community engagement.
Since Brexit, the entire EU land cover of machair habitat now occurs only in Ireland. The habitat occupies around 30km2 nationally and was assessed as amber status in Ireland’s 2019 habitats directive reporting and thus amber in the EU.

The LIFE on Machair project aims to protect and restore machair systems inside the Natura 2000 network in Ireland, with a particular focus on machair habitat, breeding waders and pollinators.
Machair is a coastal habitat characterised by a plain of lime-rich and wind-blown sand. The typical flower-rich vegetation of machair is traditionally maintained through low-intensity livestock grazing.
The machair habitat is part of a coastal complex which includes wet and dry machair, drift line vegetation, embryonic, mobile and fixed dunes, lakes and transitional habitats linking the coast to its hinterland.
The tender for the contract for provision of services for LIFE on Machair project, along with more information on each of the projects, can be found on the eTenders website.
