Mechanical Engineer – Building Services / M&E Projects (BH-4018-1)

Location Dublin, Ireland Sector Engineering Salary 65,000.00 EU per annum

Job title: Mechanical Engineer – Building Services / M&E Projects

Location: Co Tipperary

Company: Irish Mechanical Engineering Contractor

Salary: Up to €65,000

The Company

This Irish mechanical engineering contractor delivers mechanical building services projects across the commercial, industrial, healthcare, pharmaceutical and public sectors throughout Ireland.

Based in Co Tipperary, the company has built its reputation around practical engineering, quality installations and strong project delivery. With a healthy pipeline of work, they are looking to add a Mechanical Engineer to their Tipperary team to support projects from technical coordination through installation, commissioning and handover.

The Role: Mechanical Engineer

As Mechanical Engineer, you will be based out of Co Tipperary and work across mechanical building services projects, supporting the Project Manager and wider engineering team with the technical delivery of mechanical packages.

You will be involved in HVAC, heating, ventilation, pipework and associated mechanical services, coordinating drawings, materials, subcontractors and site activities to keep projects moving safely and in line with programme.

The role will suit a Mechanical Engineer who enjoys being close to project delivery rather than working solely in a design environment.

Must Have Requirements

• Must have a relevant Mechanical Engineering, Building Services Engineering or similar qualification.
• Mechanical building services experience is required, ideally gained with an M&E or mechanical contractor.
• Must have a good technical understanding of HVAC, pipework and mechanical services installations.
• Full Irish driving licence required due to travel to project sites.

Preferred Experience

• Experience coordinating mechanical services on Irish construction projects preferred.
• AutoCAD, Revit or BIM experience would be beneficial.
• Experience across commercial, industrial, healthcare or pharmaceutical projects would be an advantage.
• Exposure to testing, commissioning and mechanical project handover beneficial.

Key Responsibilities

• Support the technical delivery of mechanical packages across projects from the Tipperary office and on site.
• Review mechanical drawings, specifications, technical submittals and project requirements.
• Coordinate HVAC, pipework, heating, ventilation and associated mechanical services with site teams and other disciplines.
• Assist with procurement of mechanical equipment and materials, ensuring orders align with specifications and programme requirements.
• Work closely with Project Managers, site management, subcontractors, suppliers and the wider M&E team to resolve technical issues.
• Monitor installation quality and progress, identifying technical or programme issues before they affect project delivery.
• Support testing, commissioning, snagging and final project handover.
• Maintain accurate project documentation, technical records and progress information.

About You

You will come from a mechanical or building services engineering background with a practical understanding of how mechanical services are installed and coordinated on construction projects.

You should be comfortable reviewing drawings, dealing with suppliers and subcontractors and spending time on site when required.

Strong organisation and communication skills are important, as you will be working across engineering, procurement and site delivery while ensuring mechanical works remain aligned with programme and quality requirements.

What’s on Offer

Salary: Up to €65,000 DOE

Benefits:

• Pension
• Healthcare
• Annual leave
• CPD and technical development
• Career progression into Project Engineer and Project Manager positions
• Long term pipeline of mechanical projects

Why Apply?

This is a good opportunity for a Mechanical Engineer who wants broad exposure to the delivery side of mechanical contracting rather than being restricted to one part of the project lifecycle.

You will gain experience across technical coordination, procurement, site installation, commissioning and handover, with the opportunity to take on increasing responsibility as you progress.

The Tipperary base will particularly suit someone looking to develop their career with an Irish mechanical contractor while remaining based in the Munster or Midlands region.
