I'm currently recruiting for an experienced Senior Engineer / Team Lead to join a growing Water & Utilities engineering team in Galway.
This is a senior technical and project leadership position working across major water and wastewater infrastructure projects in Ireland, with responsibility for leading multidisciplinary teams and delivering projects from concept and detailed design through construction and completion.
Irish water-sector experience is essential for this position.
The successful candidate will have strong knowledge of the Irish water and wastewater sector, including experience working with Uisce Éireann, local authorities, Irish standards and approval processes.

- Design-Build infrastructure projects
You will lead and coordinate multidisciplinary engineering teams, including specialist disciplines such as MEICA, while managing design quality, programme, resources, client relationships and project delivery.
The position will also involve reviewing engineering designs, calculations, drawings, specifications and technical reports; providing construction-stage technical support; mentoring junior engineers; and working directly with clients, contractors, Uisce Éireann and local authorities.
What We're Looking For
Ideally, you will have:
- 8+ years' engineering experience, with significant experience gained on Irish water, wastewater or utilities projects
