At Nicholas O’Dwyer, we have been shaping Ireland’s infrastructure for more than 90 years.

We are looking for an experienced Senior Project Engineer Civil/Structural to join our growing Infrastructure Department and play a key role in the design and delivery of major projects across Ireland.

We are open to candidates from either a civil or structural engineering background. You do not need to specialise in both. What is important is a strong technical foundation in your chosen discipline, combined with an interest in working on varied and challenging infrastructure projects.

Few roles offer this breadth of experience. Our project portfolio ranges from major urban regeneration schemes such as Cork Docklands, to water and wastewater infrastructure, schools and hospitals, sports facilities, airports, public realm, energy infrastructure and a wide variety of civil and structural engineering projects.

You will join a young, ambitious and growing team where engineers are given genuine responsibility and encouraged to take ownership of their projects. You won't be limited to one small element of a larger design. You will have opportunities to work directly with clients, influence key engineering decisions and see projects develop from initial concept through to construction on site.

The role offers exposure across the full project lifecycle – including feasibility and optioneering, preliminary and detailed design, multidisciplinary coordination, procurement, construction support and handover.

Whether your background is in civil infrastructure or structural engineering, we are looking for someone who wants to continue developing technically while also taking greater responsibility for projects, clients and project delivery. The role can be shaped around your experience, strengths and the direction in which you want to develop your career.
