We are Civil and Structural Engineers with project experience such as mixed-use retail, residential projects and logistics facilities. We operate in Ireland, UK and the Middle East.

Based on our commitment to an integrated design approach, we have grown a wide-ranging client base across various sectors, including a portfolio of Automated Distribution Centres within the logistics sector for some of the biggest companies in the world.

We focus on providing tailor-made engineering solutions that have the customer at their centre. We strive to build strong and long-lasting relationships with our clients and partners based on communication, cooperation, and mutual respect.

• Developing and delivering engineering designs from concept, through to detailed design and construction phases.
• Preparing reports and specifications.
• Using software to develop designs and communicate design principles.
• Working closely with technicians to prepare drawings and other project deliverables.
• Checking and reviewing of engineering designs and deliverables.
• Liaising, collaborating, and coordinating with internal and external project team members and Clients.

This role is a fantastic opportunity to be part of a growing team where you will be supported in the progression of your career. We are a company continually striving to improve how we do things and support staff in making proposals of new ways to operate.
