Title: Civil Design Engineer · Location: Kildare (off the N7) · Type: Permanent, office-based
Most civil and structural designers spend their days on one slice of one project type, inside a consultancy big enough that nobody outside their team knows their name.
This is close to the opposite.
A HV/MV electrical engineering business in Kildare recently brought its civil design in-house, and it's become one of the fastest-growing parts of the company. The team is small, a handful of people, and growing because the work keeps coming. So the person joining now isn't filling a seat. You'd help build the team, shape how it runs, and mentor the graduates coming in behind you.
If you've ever thought you could run a design function better than the place you're in now, this is the role where you get to.
The work
You won't be stuck on one project type. It runs across:
Integrated civil and electrical design, end to end, on projects that actually get built.
Day to day
What you'll need
Three things genuinely matter. If you've got them, talk to us:
Helpful, not essential: Revit, Robot Structural Analysis or similar FE/frame software, drainage software, a Level 9 degree, Chartered status.
What's on offer
Pension matched to 4% from day one. 23 days' leave rising to 25. Strong family leave (26 weeks' paid maternity, plus paternity and adoptive). 10 paid sick days. Virtual GP care. Death-in-service and income protection. Relocation and visa support handled in-house for international hires.
This is a design role, so it's office-based. Formal hybrid (a day a week) opens up after six months and a successful probation. Easy commute: about 50 minutes from Dublin against the traffic, plenty of parking.
How to respond
Send your CV, even if it's not bang up to date, and we'll set up a short, no-pressure call to talk through fit. We've been clear about the three must-haves. If you've got them, you'll hear back quickly.
