Salary: Up to €70,000 + DOE

The Company


A highly regarded Irish engineering contractor specialising in water and wastewater infrastructure, delivering major treatment plant, pumping station and MEICA projects across Ireland.

With a strong pipeline of water infrastructure work across the North West, they are looking to strengthen their mechanical engineering team in Galway, Co Galway. The business delivers projects from design and procurement through installation, commissioning and handover, giving engineers exposure to the full project lifecycle.


The Role: Mechanical Project Engineer

As Mechanical Project Engineer, you will split your time between MEICA design work from the Co Galway and site-based project management across water and wastewater projects in the North West.

You will be involved from initial site surveys and design coordination through procurement, installation and commissioning, working closely with the wider project team, subcontractors and clients to keep works progressing safely and to programme.

Must Have Requirements
  • Must have 3+ years’ experience in mechanical engineering, project engineering or a similar role
  • Mechanical Engineering qualification or relevant technical background required
  • Hands-on experience required managing mechanical works from design through to installation
  • Must be comfortable travelling to projects throughout the North West region
Preferred Experience
  • Water or wastewater treatment project experience preferred
  • MEICA project experience beneficial
  • Experience with pumps, pipework, mechanical plant and process equipment advantageous
  • Previous site surveys and installation management experience preferred
Key Responsibilities
  • Support MEICA design and technical coordination from the office
  • Carry out site surveys and assess mechanical requirements
  • Coordinate mechanical installations across water and wastewater projects
  • Manage subcontractors, suppliers and site activities
  • Assist with procurement of mechanical plant, equipment and materials
  • Monitor programme, quality and Health & Safety requirements
  • Resolve technical and installation issues with the wider engineering team
  • Support testing, commissioning and project handover
  • Liaise with clients, consultants and other project stakeholders
  • Maintain project records and provide regular progress updates
About You

You will have a mechanical engineering background with at least 3 years’ experience and be comfortable working across both design and site delivery.

You should have a practical understanding of mechanical installations and be confident dealing with subcontractors, suppliers and project teams. Experience within water, wastewater, MEICA, utilities or process engineering would be particularly relevant.

This role would suit someone based in Galway, Mayo, Leitrim, Donegal, Cavan or the surrounding North West region who is comfortable travelling between projects.

What’s on Offer

Salary: Up to €70,000 DOE

Benefits:

  • Vehicle or travel allowance
  • Pension
  • Company benefits package
  • Long-term framework projects
  • Career progression
  • Mix of design and site-based project delivery
Why Apply?

This is a strong opportunity for a Mechanical Project Engineer who wants more responsibility across the full project lifecycle rather than being limited to either design or site work.

You will gain exposure to MEICA design, surveys, installation and project management while working across a long-term pipeline of water and wastewater infrastructure projects throughout the North West.
