The Company

A specialist engineering contractor delivering water and wastewater infrastructure projects across Ireland, with a strong presence throughout Cork, Limerick, Tipperary and the wider Munster region.

The company delivers water treatment plants, wastewater treatment facilities, pumping stations and associated mechanical and civil engineering works.

With a strong pipeline of infrastructure projects across Munster, they are looking to appoint an experienced Mechanical Engineer to support mechanical design, technical coordination and project management across their regional operations.

The Role: Mechanical Engineer

This Mechanical Engineer position will involve a combination of mechanical design coordination, technical engineering and project management responsibilities on water and wastewater infrastructure projects throughout Munster.

Working closely with Project Managers, design consultants, subcontractors and site teams, you will be responsible for coordinating mechanical engineering activities from design development and procurement through to installation, commissioning and handover.

The role will suit a Mechanical Engineer who enjoys both the technical and project delivery sides of engineering, with responsibility for ensuring designs are practical, installations meet specification and works progress in line with programme.

Must Have Requirements
  • Degree in Mechanical Engineering or a related engineering discipline.
  • Proven experience in mechanical engineering design, project engineering or project management.
  • Strong technical understanding of mechanical equipment, piping systems, pumps and associated installations.
  • Experience coordinating engineering design, procurement and site installation activities.
Preferred Experience
  • Experience on water or wastewater treatment projects.
  • Knowledge of mechanical equipment selection, technical submittals and design reviews.
  • Familiarity with AutoCAD, Revit or similar engineering design software.
  • Experience working with multidisciplinary engineering teams and specialist subcontractors.
Key Responsibilities
  • Coordinate mechanical design activities across water and wastewater infrastructure projects.
  • Review mechanical drawings, specifications and technical submissions.
  • Manage mechanical engineering packages from design through to installation and commissioning.
  • Liaise with design consultants, suppliers, subcontractors and project delivery teams.
  • Support procurement, equipment selection and technical evaluations.
  • Monitor project progress, programme requirements and engineering deliverables.
  • Resolve technical issues arising during design development and construction.
  • Ensure mechanical installations comply with project specifications, quality standards and safety requirements.
  • Assist with testing, commissioning and final project handover.
About You

You are a Mechanical Engineer with a strong technical background and experience coordinating engineering works from design through to construction.

You will be comfortable reviewing mechanical designs, dealing with equipment suppliers and working alongside site teams to resolve technical issues.

Strong communication, organisation and project coordination skills are important, along with the ability to manage engineering priorities across multiple work packages.

Experience in the Irish water infrastructure sector would be particularly beneficial.

What's on Offer

Salary: Up to €75,000 DOE

Benefits:

  • Company vehicle or vehicle allowance (subject to package)
  • Company pension (subject to package)
  • Professional development and CPD support
  • Long-term career progression
  • Exposure to major water and wastewater infrastructure projects
  • Opportunity to work across mechanical design, engineering and project management
Why Apply?

This Mechanical Engineer role offers the opportunity to develop your career in both mechanical design and project management while working on water and wastewater infrastructure projects across Munster.

With continued investment in Ireland's water infrastructure and a strong pipeline of projects throughout the region, this position offers long-term prospects and the opportunity to take on greater project management responsibility.
