Job description

Overview

The Engineering Co‑Op student will support the project engineering team in the design, procurement, and site support activities associated with power‑generation and industrial EPC projects. This placement provides structured exposure to engineering design workflows, construction activities, geotechnical interpretation, vendor engagement, and multi‑disciplinary coordination within a professional engineering environment. The programme is designed in accordance with Engineers Ireland's expectations for undergraduate professional formation, emphasising mentored learning, the development of core technical competencies, and the growth of professional skills, ethics, teamwork, and communication required for future progression toward graduate membership and chartership pathways.

Responsibilities

General Characteristics

• Gain practical experience applying engineering principles in a professional environment.
• Work under close supervision while developing independence as appropriate.
• Demonstrate professional conduct, teamwork, and a willingness to learn.
• Develop awareness of safety, environmental responsibilities, and ethical practice.
• Communicate clearly with engineering and construction teams.

Technical Responsibilities

• Collecting and organising project data (drawings, reports, surveys, specifications).
• Basic calculations and design tasks such as levels, volumes, quantities, and simple checks.
• Preparing and updating drawings or mark‑ups using CAD tools.
• Reviewing vendor drawings, reports, and EOR design packages.
• Supporting preparation of technical submittals and tender inputs.
• Participating in field investigations, testing, or construction observations.
• Raising and tracking basic technical queries (RFIs) under guidance.
• These tasks support the development of technical knowledge, problem‑solving, and analytical skills promoted by Engineers Ireland.

Project, Programme & Task Support

• Assist with the organisation of documents, registers, and project deliverables.
• Support schedule tracking, progress reporting, and quantity take‑offs.
• Contribute to tender inputs (BOQs, estimates, layout support) under direction.
• Coordinate small tasks with other team members and disciplines.
• This develops an understanding of project delivery, planning, quality processes, and multidisciplinary interaction.

Supervision, Mentorship & Learning

• Receive daily guidance from assigned engineers and mentors.
• Participate in technical reviews, team meetings, and site visits as appropriate.
• Learn standard engineering procedures, codes, and design tools.
• Gain awareness of professional responsibilities and progression toward Engineers Ireland graduate membership.
• This supports the professional development and competence‑building expected from an accredited Co‑Op placement.

Construction & Site Support

• Visit or be based on the project sites to observe construction and installation works, QA/QC procedures, and safety practices.
• Assist site engineers with measurements, progress checks, or documentation.
• Learn construction sequencing, temporary works concepts, and practical buildability considerations.
• This enhances understanding of how design translates to construction, a key requirement of Engineers Ireland.

Procurement & Vendor Interface

• Review vendor information for completeness.
• Support technical evaluations and documentation coordination.
• Assist in tracking deliverables from suppliers and subcontractors.
• This builds early experience in procurement, vendor management, and commercial awareness.

Health, Safety, Environment & Quality (HSEQ)

• Follow all safety, quality, and environmental procedures.
• Participate in toolbox talks, inductions, and risk‑awareness briefings.
• Support quality documentation such as checks, redlines, and revisions.
• Develop an understanding of safe design and construction practices.
• These align with Engineers Ireland's emphasis on ethics, safety, and professional responsibility.

Communication, Teamwork & Professionalism

• Prepare clear notes, emails, sketches, and basic reports.
• Participate in team meetings and share updates on assigned tasks.
• Work effectively with multi‑discipline engineering and construction teams.
• Demonstrate professionalism, reliability, and respect in all interactions.
• This helps build the professional attributes EI expects at early career stage.

IT & Digital Engineering

• Use CAD (as applicable) for basic design and drafting tasks.
• Use document management systems such as SharePoint, Asite, or InEight.
• Maintain accurate digital records and follow version control procedures.
• This supports the digital competence required in modern engineering practice.
