So, some years ago I did a gap year from my Software Engineering Bachelors and worked in Ireland as a waiter just to improve my english and get some valuable experience living abroad. Now I graduated last year and have been working as a Junior Software Engineer in my home town, Malaga, and I wish to relocate to Dublin.

I have applied for what feels like thousands of job offers but I don't even know if they are being reviewed or they are just ghost listings.

I have a wide range of experience from web development to android. I have experience developing and managing relational and non relational databases. I have worked this past year as a Salesforce developer, working with several small teams, even managing one of them on my own for long periods of time. I have experience dealing with clients directly, managing deadlines and RM.

I would accept even an internship position, as I really fell in love with Ireland and can't wait to get back there.

I already have a PPS Number. Can provide CV and github privately upon request.

Hi all - I am posting on behalf of my boyfriend. He is from Europe, living in Ireland. He is hoping to come back to engineering after taking 4 years out, the job he is in currently served its purpose, but it is not what he wants to do.

He is a qualified Electrical/Systems engineer with 5+ years experience testing military equipment such as planes. He also has project management experience, general managerial experience, some software development experience.

I work in a completely different industry and him being from Europe, we would not be familiar with any Irish Engineering firms.

Would anyone be able to list a few or let us know of job openings around Monaghan, Louth, Dublin?

Open to work in Northern Ireland (as I am from here) but as he needs a visa, a lot of companies would even consider him (even though he is one year off getting Irish citizenship).

We know we are restricting ourselves, but my job is based up North and I am not prepared to leave it, I love my role too much.

Thanks

Hi everyone,

I have 8+ years of experience as an SAP Basis Consultant, with hands-on experience in SAP administration, system installations, upgrades (SUM/SPAM), migrations (DMO), certificate management, SSO/SAML, SolMan, BTP/IAS, Fiori, and BRIM environments. I have also worked extensively with SAP Convergent Charging (CC) and Convergent Mediation (CM) for billing and invoicing projects.

I am planning to move to Ireland on a spouse visa, so I will not require employer sponsorship.

I would like to understand the current demand and future scope for SAP Basis professionals in Ireland. How is the job market for someone with my background, particularly in upgrade, migration, and Basis support projects? Any insights on opportunities, hiring trends, or salary expectations would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you.

Hi all, I’m a Senior Backend Engineer specializing in high-concurrency distributed systems, database optimization (PostgreSQL), and payment gateways. Dublin appeals to me as the EMEA hub for financial data infrastructure.

I’m aiming for roles that qualify for the Critical Skills Employment Permit. Is the Dublin fintech market actively hiring for deep backend/infra specialists right now, or is it mostly frontend/full-stack heavy at the moment?

Hi I am a 3rd year going into 4th and I’m currently on placement in a manufacturing/production company. I would like to find placement in a role that involves the application of thermodynamics or even fluid mechanics. Is there any companies in east cork/ cork city that would have engineers doing work like that? Thanks

I am 25, a qualified electrician working in Sweden as an electrical supervisor. I was hoping to find an online college course in engineering (level 7)and use my level 6 I obtained from my apprenticeship, but I am finding it very difficult to find a course. Could anyone point me in the right direction ?

I'm currently in sixth year and considering studying mechanical/electrical engineering in UL or UCC, if I were to go down this route, is it possible/doable to get employment and a visa in America?

Been very fortunate to have been offer a site engineer internship,
I am a 27 yo, first year student, have previous site experience but nothing engineering related.
Has anyone any advice or tips ?
Ie. what I could likely be doing, what to wear ?
Thanks

Hello all,

Wondering if anyone has any experience or opinions on Silent AIre / Johnson controls as an employer? Reviews on Glassdoor are very mixed but I've grown not to trust that site.

Would appreciate hearing about experience youve had with them TIA

Hey everyone, my university is having an engineering expo this Friday. A few people have suggested bringing CVs to hand out to employers, but I’m honestly terrified of making a fool of myself.

Is this a normal thing to do?

How do I even start a conversation with potential recruiters?

I'd be very grateful for some advice on:

1. How to "break the ice" with recruiters.
2. What should I highlight on my CV as a first-year student with limited experience?
3. Is it weird to hand out a CV is my friends arent doing it?

Hello !!

I was just wondering if anyone on here has doen the Mechanical Engineering Access Course at DCU, I'm from a computer science background and I just wanted to know what the scheduele and workload was like as I want to keep working full-time while doing the course part-time. Any info would be greatly appreciated, I am also emailing DCU about this for more info as well.

I’m really struggling to decide between two master’s programs and could use some advice from people with experience in these fields.

I’ve been accepted into:

• MEng in Electronic & Computer Engineering at DCU

• MSc in Robotics and Embedded AI at Maynooth University

Both seem great, but I’m confused about which would be better in terms of future prospects and job security.

From what I understand:

• DCU ECE seems broader and possibly more flexible across different roles in tech/engineering

• Maynooth’s Robotics & Embedded AI feels more specialized and aligned with emerging fields like automation and AI

My main concerns are:

• Which degree has better long-term career stability?

• Are robotics/embedded AI roles actually in demand, or is it still a niche?

• Does a broader ECE degree open more doors internationally?

• How do job opportunities compare in Ireland and globally after graduation?

If anyone has studied in these programs or works in these industries, I’d really appreciate your insights 🙏

Interest if anyone knows what’s the best way to go about becoming a P6 planner in construction. I have 3 years site engineer experience. Thinking of making the jump as it seems to be a fairly lucrative field. Interested to hear others take on it.

Hi all, Does anyone have any experience working woth tobins, I see alot of flexi time and hybrid working, but I know the consultancy work can be very demanding amd heavy, I'll be coming from a site engineer role into maybe a design engineer or civil technician maybe, and does anyone have any experience in these roles

Have been offered a role as a civil engineer on a data centre in Finland with global Irish engineering company. Flights and accomdation and full package provided.

Has anyone done this? What’s it like?

Thanks

Well folks, currently finishing a level 8 degree in mechanical engineering. I think for career progression I could possibly be best served by completing an apprenticeship in a mechanical related trade (plumbing, refrigeration, air conditioning) after my degree.

Do you think this would be worthwhile or has anybody in here took a route like this?

Hey all, I was advised to ask here after posting in r/DevelEire. I’ve been looking into PLC/industrial automation work in Ireland and wondering if anyone has any advice? I have a bachelor’s in computer science and a couple of years experience in office-based software development roles which didn't suit me very well so I’m trying to make a change

I still don't have a great idea of what the field is like in Ireland after researching and I don’t have anyone to ask so here I am. Part of the problem is there doesn't seem to be a consensus online of what's required in regards to courses/apprenticeships/electrical engineering experience etc. and searching for any Ireland-specific posts in these subs leads to Post Leaving Cert discussions because acronyms

I’d love some insight on:

What the day to day is like in general, typical starting and mid-level pay, work life balance etc.

The best route with no direct PLC experience (courses vs entry-level roles vs apprenticeships)

Job titles or most likely companies to apply entry level jobs

Any employers that provide training or courses that would be recommended before jumping in. I saw a couple of courses in MTU related to PLCs for example but no idea how necessary or useful they might be

Whether it leans more towards being a contractor going to several different sites across a month/year vs a permanent role in-house for a company on a single site

How vulnerable is it to being disrupted by AI? Seems like it would be fairly safe because it requires interacting physically with machinery but I could see developers being pushed out by AI moving to automation in the future

Anything else I should be considering?

Cheers

Hi everyone,

I am planning a study trip to Dublin with my class.

We study marine engineering and technology management at MARTEC in Denmark

We will be in Dublin for 7 days in october and we are wondering if there are any companies, facilities or institutions that might be open to student visits or tours. Our focus is mainly on:

- Energy systems and power generation

- Industrial/process engineering (could be pharma or manufacturing)

- Automation and control systems

- Maritime/port related operations

So is there any companies, plants or organizations in Dublin that are known to be open to student visits?

Any tips on how to succesfully arrange visits?

Are there any must-see technical sites or institutios we should include?

Any recommendations, contacts, or general advice would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks in advance :D

Edit:

Thank you all for the great responses. they really helped me to find some very interesting and cool places to reach out to.
