The Opportunity

We are seeking an experienced site-based Electrical Engineer to join our team on a high-profile project in Dublin City Centre.

This role requires a technically capable “all-rounder” who can take ownership of documentation, verification, and site coordination with minimal supervision — and who understands why tasks are performed, not just how.

• Manage and produce comprehensive project documentation packs in line with client and project requirements.
• Review and verify electrical designs, calculation tables, cable sizing, protection devices, fire alarm systems, energy load calculations, and regulatory compliance.
• Coordinate with subcontractors, suppliers, and internal teams to ensure installation quality and adherence to standards.
• Conduct inspections, tests, and verification of installed systems, compiling accurate records for compliance.
• Prepare, submit, and track technical documentation, ensuring deadlines are met.
• Identify issues, raise RFIs, and resolve technical queries promptly.
• Support commissioning and client demonstration activities.

What You’ll Bring

• Degree in Electrical Services Engineering or equivalent
• A minimum of 2–3 years’ post-qualification experience in an M&E contracting or manufacturing environment.
• Strong knowledge of electrical standards, regulations, and safety systems.
• Proven experience creating and managing documentation packs.
• Ability to work independently and manage a high documentation workload with minimal oversight.
• Excellent problem-solving skills and the ability to explain the rationale (“why”) behind engineering decisions.
• Proficiency in relevant software tools (e.g., Amtech, Dialux/Relux, Navisworks).

Why Join Us?

• Healthcare & Pension
• Career progression with a clear pathway to chartership (Accredited Engineers Ireland CPD Employer)
• International opportunities within a growing global business
• Be part of a project team where your technical expertise and judgment are valued
