As an experienced Electrical Engineer, you will be based out of your new company’s head office in Cork, taking on a full-time, permanent role that places you at the centre of their ongoing growth and the successful delivery of new projects.

This role offers the opportunity to lead and manage the electrical design function while playing a key role in the successful delivery of projects across regulated sectors. You will work closely with internal teams, clients, and site personnel to ensure all electrical elements are delivered efficiently, accurately, and to the highest standards.
