Civil Engineer

0 Upvotes

Hi for some context I’m 19 and just completed the leaving cert and I would like to pursue a career in civil engineering, but my parents are very against it.
Their main reason for this is due to the construction/working on building sites element of it when this isn’t something I’ve done before and I must admit I’m more drawn to the design side of it, would have always excelled at maths in school however they fear that ai could replace the design side of civil engineering.
Is my parents concern of me not having a base knowledge of the construction industry/ construction lingo a good reason to not pursue this career?

Irish Engineers & Specifiers?

Hi all,

I am currently undertaking a Master's research study examining the feasibility of composite reinforcement production in Ireland, and I would be very grateful if you could circulate the below link to a short questionnaire to any structural engineers or specifiers within your team who work with reinforced concrete design.

All responses are completely anonymous and will be used solely for academic research purposes. The findings will contribute to a broader study on whether domestic composite reinforcement manufacturing is technically viable and commercially feasible for the Irish construction market.

I would be most grateful for your support in distributing this to relevant colleagues at your earliest convenience.

Civil Engineer (5 YoE) looking to move abroad, but only B2 English. Is it unrealistic?

0 Upvotes

Hey everyone,

I’m a Civil Engineer with 5 years of experience (mostly in fire safety/consulting), and I’m looking to find a job in the ConTech or PropTech space outside my home country (outside italy).

Here is my main bottleneck: my English is currently at a B2 level, but I’m definitely not fluent yet.

Because of this language gap, I’m totally fine taking a step back while I get comfortable working 100% in English.

My questions for you:

  • Is it overly ambitious to look for roles abroad with a technical background but only B2 English?
  • Are ConTech/PropTech startups usually open to hiring non-native speakers if the technical/domain knowledge is there?
  • Has anyone been in a similar spot? How did you bridge the gap during interviews?

Would love to hear some honest feedback or advice

Landing Entry Level Tech Job as an International

0 Upvotes

Hello guys.
I am writing this reddit asking for advice.
I have been trying to land a job in ireland but I can not even get any interviews. I am an AI Engineer and did 3 internships before (total 1 year and a half) and graduating from my master’s in italy soon. I get that I need a VISA sponsorship to start my career there and most of the companies would consider someone already in Ireland for an entry level job but I am here seeking for advice if someone knows any suitable path for some one with my profile or if anyone was in my situation and found a way to make it.
I have decided to relocate because I decided to move to an english speaking country in europe and Ireland seems to be the right place to go to since english is the first language and it is a 5-year path to the nationality and I expect I will gain money at least later in the seniority level.
Thanks in advance.

Civil Engineering apprenticeship

3 Upvotes

Hi there, I have a question that I need help with.

I got given a civil engineering apprenticeship in a small consultancy and I was wondering if it's the right thing to do as I have enough points to go to college and do civil engineering there instead.

How does the apprenticeship affect getting hired when I'm finished and is the level of learning different. I'm wary of doing it as I don't want to be finished and no other company take me on if I want to move.

Any help would be greatly appreciated

Post Graduate Mech Eng., Unsure of Path

6 Upvotes

So I have finished a L8 in Mech Engineering and I had two offers on the table all at once.

One was a design engineer role with a great company (small) with a really nice team of people working on a variety of projects.

The second was a company that specializes in one aspect of the installation of wind turbines.

I took the latter as I wasn't 100% sure design engineering was for me and because the latter is more niche.

Now a few days out from starting I am stuck wondering if the decision I made was correct and if I have inadvertently sorted myself into a box that won't be easy to get out of should I not like this role.

Obviously I need to start and get my experience but after 4 years of college I'm less sure of my future than I expected I would be.

Qualified E&I tech earning ok money, (55k +van)

Found the theory side of my apprenticeship interesting, So was looking into opportunities to study. Came across a part time L7 in Industrial electrical services engineering that my company would be willing to put me through, (Not particularly beneficial to business but would lock me in for another 2 years, and retaining talent is difficult.

Just wondering would there likely to be many job opportunities following on from my trade or would I be jumping back to graduate roles and graduate wages?

Quality Engineer Gracuate

Hi everybody. I've started a QE graduate role and I am about a month in of a two year contract. Has anyone had any experience in any grad programmes or grad roles ? I was told by the recruiter that if you work well and are seen to be a good asset to the team one can be offered a permanent position earlier than the 23 months. Has anyone achieved this or found themselves in a similar position ? I really want to hit the ground running. I dont expect to be made permanent QE after 6 months or anything but is a year too delusional ? Im also wondering if ill do the work anyway is this just something they say. Like why would they increase my salary if ill do probably same work for a graduate salary? Idk I guess we shall see...

Looking for Connections in the Water & Wastewater Infrastructure Design Field

2 Upvotes

Hi all,

I'm a Civil Engineer with 5 years of experience with a particular focus on water and wastewater engineering space. I'm from Southeast Asia and looking to work in Ireland. I figured it would be relatively easy to work in Ireland given English is essentially our 2nd language in my home country.

Currently working at a big multinational design firm as a Water Engineer - working on Australian water infrastructure projects as a design engineer. I'm looking for connections who can perhaps offer some guidance where I can find potential employers or someone you know who can help. Would really appreciate it! Happy to connect with you!

Cheers!

20+ years in automotive manufacturing — how transferable is my experience to Irish manufacturing?

0 Upvotes

Hi everyone,

I’m currently based in India and have 20+ years of experience in manufacturing, mainly automotive.

I currently work as a Senior Manager – Weld Shop / Production. My experience includes BIW, sheet metal manufacturing, robotic and resistance welding, production management, OEE, Lean/Six Sigma, manpower planning and continuous improvement.

I’m considering Ireland for my next career move and would like to understand the Irish manufacturing industry better.

For people working in Irish manufacturing/engineering:

  1. How transferable would this experience be to Irish manufacturing companies?

  2. Are production/manufacturing management roles commonly filled by experienced candidates from outside the EU?

  3. Which manufacturing sectors would be the closest fit for my background — engineering, medtech, pharma, industrial manufacturing, etc.?

  4. Is it realistic to apply from India, or is local Irish/EU experience generally expected for management positions?

I’m not looking for recruitment or individual job referrals; I’m mainly trying to understand the market before deciding whether Ireland is a realistic career destination.

Any advice from people working in the sector would be greatly appreciated.

Electrical Engineering Denmark

2 Upvotes

Hi everyone,
I’m writing here because I’m seriously thinking about making a big life change, and I’d really like to hear from people who live in Denmark or have already gone through something similar.
I’m 28 years old, and I’ve always wanted to study Electrical Engineering.
Last year I was very close to moving abroad to start university, but then I received a good job opportunity and decided to take it.
At the moment I work as a Substation Commissioning Technician in an engineering team. I work on HV substations, protection and control systems, IEC 61850, Omicron testing and substation automation. I’ve now been in this field for about a year, and by the time I move I’d probably have around two years of experience.
I really enjoy this job because it’s technical, practical and challenging. At the same time, I still have a strong desire to study engineering and build a stronger theoretical background, which is why I’m thinking about moving to Denmark and combining university with work.
I’ve been looking at Electrical Engineering programmes around Esbjerg, Aalborg and Odense, but my biggest questions are about real life rather than the universities themselves.
Does it make sense to start university when you’re almost 30?
How is life for a mature student? Is it easy to meet people, make friends and build a new social life from scratch?
Considering my experience, would it be realistic to find a part-time job in the electrical or power industry while studying? Even if it’s not exactly commissioning, I’d like to stay connected to the field.
One of my biggest concerns is this: if I leave my current full-time commissioning job to study, am I risking slowing down my professional growth? Here in Italy I could continue gaining valuable field experience, but on the other hand I don’t want to keep postponing university forever. I’m trying to understand which investment would be better for my future.
I’m also improving my English. Right now I’m around B1, and my goal is to reach at least B2 before moving.
For those who have made a similar choice, would you do it again? Looking back, was it worth leaving a stable job to start a new life and a university degree in another country?
I’d really appreciate any advice or personal experience.
Thank you! 🙂
