Job description

Don’t just start your engineering career. Build one that moves faster.

Most graduate roles have you watching from the sidelines. This one puts you alongside experienced engineers, working on real projects, solving real challenges, and building the skills that will shape your career from day one.

The Role

You'll join our Electrical team in Dublin, supporting the design and delivery of electrical building services across a diverse range of commercial, residential, healthcare, education, industrial, and mixed‑use projects.

Working alongside experienced engineers, you’ll gain hands‑on experience across every stage of project delivery – from concept design through construction and final handover – developing both your technical expertise and professional confidence.

What You’ll Do

• Assist with the design of electrical building services systems across multiple sectors
• Produce electrical drawings, schematics and BIM models using AutoCAD and Revit
• Carry out engineering calculations including load assessments, cable sizing, voltage drop and lighting calculations
• Support the design of power distribution, lighting, fire alarm, security, data, renewable energy and EV charging systems
• Coordinate with mechanical engineers, architects and multidisciplinary design teams
• Attend project meetings and site visits, supporting inspections and resolving technical issues
• Assist in preparing technical specifications, reports and tender documentation
• Learn industry standards, regulations and sustainable design principles while contributing to high‑quality project delivery

What You’ll Bring

• Degree in Electrical Engineering, Electrical Services Engineering, Building Services Engineering or a related discipline
• Graduate experience in electrical design or building services (placements and internships welcomed)
• Familiarity with AutoCAD, Revit MEP and Microsoft Office
• Understanding of electrical engineering fundamentals and building services design
• Strong communication, organisation and problem‑solving skills
• A proactive attitude with a genuine desire to learn and develop

Desirable

• Experience with Dialux, Relux, Amtech, Trimble ProDesign, ETAP or similar design software
• Exposure to BIM workflows and Revit MEP

What You’ll Get

This isn’t built around perks. It’s built around how ambitious engineers want to start their careers: learning from experienced professionals, taking on meaningful responsibility, and progressing based on ability.

The Essentials

• Competitive salary, bonus and pension
• 22 to 27 days annual leave, plus bank holidays

Flexible working across a 37.5‑hour week (7.5 hours x 5 days) – early start or later start, you decide.

Career Progression

• Structured development with clear progression from Junior Engineer to Engineer, Senior Engineer, Associate and beyond
• Mentoring from experienced engineers across multidisciplinary teams
• IN2 Academy, CPD support and chartership guidance
• Fully paid professional membership fees

Health and Wellbeing

• Employee Assistance Programme and annual health checks
• Wellbeing and fitness initiatives that support you long term
• Cycle to Work scheme

Social and Community

• A genuinely collaborative team culture built around shared success
• Employee‑led charity initiatives with real involvement
• Offices in Dublin, London, Berlin, Belfast, Athlone and Madrid

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, 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.

Ready to build your engineering career from day one? Join a team that invests in your development and gives you the opportunity to make an impact from the start.
