With a strong pipeline of Uisce Éireann projects across Ireland, this is an excellent opportunity for a Design Engineer to play a hands-on role in taking projects from early concept through detailed design and into construction.

This role would suit an engineer who enjoys being close to delivery - thinking about buildability, safety and value from day one - while working as part of a collaborative, multi-disciplinary engineering team.

Your new role as a Civil Design Engineer
As a Design Engineer, you will support the delivery of water and wastewater infrastructure schemes, working closely with project, construction and commercial teams.

You will be responsible for:

• Producing design documents, drawings and technical details to support live infrastructure projects
• Ensuring designs prioritise safety, environmental compliance, constructability and commercial efficiency
• Working collaboratively within a multi-disciplinary engineering environment
• Liaising with clients, statutory bodies and key stakeholders
• Undertaking site visits and technical assessments to validate and inform design solutions
• Identifying opportunities for innovation and sustainability within design outputs
• Maintaining up-to-date knowledge of relevant standards, regulations and emerging technologies

What you'll need to succeed
To be considered for this role, you should have:

• Experience in a design engineering role within water, wastewater or infrastructure projects
• Working knowledge of AutoCAD (ArcGIS experience highly beneficial)
• Exposure to projects delivered for Uisce Éireann or similar utility providers
• A proactive, solutions-focused mindset with strong problem-solving ability
• Confidence working with internal teams and external stakeholders
• Strong communication skills and a high level of personal motivation
• Some knowledge of MEICA in relation to water projects is an advantage

What's in it for you?
In return, you can expect:

• The opportunity to work on high-profile infrastructure projects
• A supportive, forward-thinking engineering environment
• Clear career progression within a growing and ambitious business
• Competitive salary and benefits package
• Ongoing professional development and exposure to project delivery, not just design

If you're a Design Engineer looking to work closer to construction while developing your career within the Irish water sector, this is a role well worth exploring.
