Job Overview
Company Introduction
Armatile is a leading supplier and manufacturer of tiles and bespoke stone products, serving architects, designers, contractors, and retail customers across Ireland and the UK. The company specialises in the supply, fabrication, and installation of high-quality tile and mosaic solutions for commercial and residential projects. Known for its design-led approach, technical expertise, and strong customer relationships, Armatile delivers innovative surface solutions to the construction and interiors sectors. The company is committed to continuous improvement, sustainability, and product innovation, and is exploring new opportunities to develop recycled materials and circular manufacturing solutions within its operations
This position is with Armatile Ltd. The role forms part of an Innovation Boost project supported by InterTradeIreland. Salary support under the programme is provided for 18 months; however, the employment contract is with Armatile and is not limited to the funding period.
Duties and Responsibility
This is a key strategic role focused on leading the development of a new range of recycled surface products within the company’s manufacturing operations. The Product Development Manager will be responsible for overseeing the design, development, and introduction of recycled terrazzo-style materials derived from tile-production waste. Working closely with an academic partner and internal production teams, the successful candidate will coordinate all aspects of product development, from material formulation and prototype production through to technical testing, process integration, and preparation for market introduction.
A core part of the role will involve embedding sustainable material solutions within the company’s existing fabrication processes and supporting the transition from traditional waste disposal practices to circular material reuse.
The Product Development Manager will play a central role in driving innovation, improving operational processes, and supporting the company’s ambition to introduce new sustainable product lines that respond to evolving market demand within the construction and design sectors.
