Job description

Job Description

This is a great opportunity for an Electrical Engineer looking to take ownership of key water and wastewater projects in the North Leinster region. You’ll be joining a busy and growing contracts team working on essential infrastructure projects across the public utility sector.

Your role will focus on the electrical scope of works, design input, technical coordination, procurement support, overseeing installation, and managing commissioning activities. You’ll be hands-on across the full project lifecycle, ensuring everything is built and delivered to spec, on time and within budget.

It’s a technically engaging role, ideal for someone who enjoys working across multiple disciplines (mechanical, civil, automation), dealing with challenges onsite, and seeing their input directly reflected in project outcomes.

You’ll be supported by a strong in-house design and delivery team but will have the autonomy to make decisions and influence how the work is delivered.

You will be confident enough to represent the electrical side of the job in meetings, walkdowns, and on-site during construction and commissioning.
