• Solid understanding of Irish construction standards and regulatory processes.
• Proficient in Eurocode structural design and SUDS drainage for public and private sector projects.
• Strong working knowledge of AutoCAD, Revit, and Site 3D.
• Ability to work independently with minimal redrafting, but also thrive in a collaborative team.
• A proactive approach, excellent attention to detail, and strong written communication skills.

• Deliver high-quality civil and structural engineering designs using Eurocodes, including steel, concrete, and masonry design for buildings and infrastructure.
• Design SUDS-based drainage systems and manage supporting calculations and layouts using tools like Site 3D.
• Produce and modify drawings and technical documentation using AutoCAD and Revit.
• Manage your own projects from concept through to construction stage, ensuring all deadlines and quality standards are met.
• Work closely with directors and other engineers to coordinate project delivery and client communication.
• Attend site visits, design meetings, and technical reviews where required.
• Contribute to continuous improvement in documentation, reporting, and project workflows.
