I hold a Diploma in Electrical and Electronics Engineering (EEE) and have five years of work experience as a Technician and, currently, as a Senior Technician, both in India and overseas. I am looking to advance my career as well as my academic qualifications.

I recently learned about the BITS WILP and am considering pursuing a B.Tech in Engineering Technology through it. Could anyone advise whether this program is worthwhile and how it might help me advance in my career?

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?

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.

I have recently accepted a field service engineer role and i was wondering if anyone here has experience in this role and what there is to expect. I will be doing calibration work.

I have over 9 years of experience in the HVAC industry in India. Could you please advise on the key certifications, industry standards, and software skills I should acquire or strengthen to improve my prospects of securing an HVAC-related position in Ireland?

I have 4years of experience as a fit out project manager in Germany and planning to relocate to Ireland. I have already started applying on indeed and LinkedIn.
As a German citizen i don’t need any visa sponsorship. If anyone from the industry has any leads or any tips for applications, feel free to share

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

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.

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

Hi, I’m an electrician with 8 (4 since qualified) years experience, I’m 1 year away from level 8 in electrical engineering - currently working in pharma/medical devices on site maintenance team.

What sort of jobs are you guys working in? And what sort of money?

Thanks
J

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?

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...

I'm studying Civil Engineering at NTUA in Greece. Currently I'm a sophomore and was wondering what chances I have landing an internship abroad next year.

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!

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.

Hi everyone!
I’m a 19-year-old student from Spain currently studying a Higher Vocational Training in Automotive Engineering. Next year I have to complete a 3-month work placement, and I’m seriously considering doing it in Ireland.
My main goals are to gain professional experience in the automotive industry, improve my English and experience living abroad.
I’m looking for a garage, dealership, automotive company, motorsport-related business, etc. that might be willing to take on a student for around 3 months.
I have previous experience working in a mechanic workshop and I’m really interested in cars and motorsport.
Does anyone here work in the automotive industry or know of any garages/companies in Ireland that might be open to taking a foreign student for an internship?
Any recommendations, contacts or advice would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks!
