- Help review construction drawings and raise RFIs under guidance from senior staff.
- Follow company HSEQ procedures and support quality inspections.
- Assist in supervising subcontractors and communicating clear instructions.
- Support the implementation of traffic management plans on site.
Qualifications & Training
- Degree in Civil Engineering or Construction Management.
- Completion of a placement year in a civil engineering environment.
- Professional membership (e.g., Engineers Ireland) is an advantage but not required.
Essential Skills & Experience
- Practical setting-out experience gained during a placement or internship.
- Exposure to civil works such as pipelines or reinforced concrete (advantageous).
- Familiarity with Microsoft Office and basic AutoCAD skills.
- Strong communication skills and a willingness to learn.
- Good organisational and problem‑solving abilities.
Why Join Us?

- Build on your placement experience with hands-on technical development.
- Receive mentorship and support from experienced engineers.
- Join a company committed to health, safety, and quality excellence.
