Why IN2?

Across every role, electrical, mechanical, or BIM, the IN2 difference is the same: you're expected to think, lead, and shape outcomes, not just execute instructions. Here's what sets us apart. Ownership from Day One Whether you're an Engineer or a Senior, you'll have real accountability and decision‑making authority. No waiting for permission. No layers of sign-­off slowing you down. Progression Based On Ability Faster progression based on what you deliver, not how long you've been in the seat. A clear pathway from Engineer to Senior, Associate, Director and beyond. Innovation Time Dedicated time to develop new ideas, explore emerging technologies, and contribute to sustainability strategies—built into how we work, not bolted on. High‑Performance, Low‑Ego Culture A team that challenges each other, supports each other, and wins together. No hierarchy for hierarchy's sake. Just talented people doing exceptional work. Complex, High‑Profile Projects Exposure to design‑led, high‑impact developments that push the boundaries of what building services engineering can achieve. Global Reach Work across offices in Dublin, London, Berlin, Belfast, Athlone and Madrid—a genuinely international practice with a collaborative, connected culture.
