You are an Electrical Project Engineer with a hands-on attitude, strong project coordination skills, and the technical know-how to push projects forward from concept to commissioning. This is a permanent, full-time position based out of Carlow, with regular site visits, and offers a solid opportunity to work on meaningful projects across the water sector.

Your new company are a steadily growing company working primarily in the water and wastewater sector. Focus is on delivering high-quality, technically sound engineering solutions that make a real difference to essential infrastructure across Ireland.

For those eager to learn more about this exciting opportunity, please do not hesitate to reach out to Stephen at stephen@breaghrecruitment.com / 015314345

Electrical Project Engineer Skills:  
  • Someone with at least 5 years’ experience in an electrical project engineering role.
  • A qualified electrician who’s stepped into engineering/project coordination or is keen to make that move.
  • Ideally, someone who has worked in the water/wastewater industry – but if not, that’s not a deal-breaker.
  • Comfortable using AutoCAD for updating drawings and coordinating with vendors.
  • Confident managing subcontractors and direct labour on site.
  • Well-organised, clear communicator, with a practical mindset and strong attention to detail.
  • Able to balance technical understanding with commercial awareness.
  • Driving license

As an Electrical Project Engineer:  
  • Working closely with the Project Manager to keep things moving on track and on budget.
  • Getting in touch with suppliers, reviewing quotes, and making sure everything lines up with project specs.
  • Pulling together technical submittals and documentation for client sign-off.
  • Building and updating project programmes, tracking progress against the plan.
  • Coordinating contractors, internal teams, and site crews to deliver on schedule.
  • Writing up method statements, risk assessments, and managing project QA procedures.
  • Acting as the key link between the office and site – liaising with subcontractors, client reps, and trades.
  • Taking ownership of on-site supervision, ensuring quality and safety standards are always met.
  • Carrying out site surveys and producing detailed work packages.
  • Keeping safety documentation up to date and carrying out audits as required.
  • Managing contract documentation, tracking variations, and supporting with O&M manuals.
  • This is a split role – you’ll be based in the Carlow office but expected to be on-site as needed to ensure delivery standards are upheld


The Package:

Salary will be DOE, but you can expect a salary of at least €60,000 plus package.
