• Conduct site inspections and attend site meetings as required.
• Contribute to project bidding and tender submissions.
• Mentor and support junior engineers to foster their professional growth.

Required Skills and Experience

• Chartered Structural Engineer with 7+ years of experience, including project leadership on small to medium scale projects.
• Strong design proficiency in multi-storey buildings using a variety of construction materials such as steel, masonry, reinforced concrete, and timber frame.
• Competent in industry-standard engineering software, including TEDDS, Masterseries, PDS, Microdrainage/Flow, AutoCAD, and Revit.
• Comprehensive knowledge of construction methodologies, sequencing, temporary works, and Irish Building Regulations, including BCAR compliance.
• Experience working within ISO 9001:2015 quality management systems.
• Excellent organizational, prioritization, and communication skills.
• Ability to collaborate effectively within multidisciplinary teams both internally and externally.
• Flexible, enthusiastic, and detail-oriented approach.
• Relevant engineering experience in Ireland or the UK is essential.

What We Offer

• Competitive salary package commensurate with experience.
• Comprehensive benefits beyond salary for the right candidate.
• A dynamic and supportive working environment.
• Hybrid working flexibility, with the understanding that office or site presence will be required as needed.
