Graduate Engineers (EI&C)

Overview –

The Engineering graduate will support the project engineering team in the design, procurement, and site support activities associated with power-generation and industrial EPC projects.

This role provides structured exposure to engineering design workflows, construction activities, geotechnical interpretation, vendor engagement, and multi-disciplinary coordination within a professional engineering environment.

Responsibilities

General Characteristics:

• Gain practical experience applying engineering principles in a professional environment.

• Work under close supervision while developing independence as appropriate.

• Demonstrate professional conduct, teamwork, and a willingness to learn.

• Develop awareness of safety, environmental responsibilities, and ethical practice.

• Communicate clearly with engineering and construction teams

Technical Responsibilities

Under supervision, you will assist with:

• Collecting and organising project data (drawings, reports, surveys, specifications).

• Basic calculations and design tasks such as levels, volumes, quantities, and simple checks.

• Preparing and updating drawings or mark-ups using CAD tools.

• Reviewing vendor drawings, reports, and EOR design packages.

• Supporting preparation of technical submittals and tender inputs.

• Participating in field investigations, testing, or construction observations.

• Raising and tracking basic technical queries (RFIs) under guidance.

These tasks support the development of technical knowledge, problem-solving, and analytical skills promoted by Engineers Ireland.

Project, Programme & Task Support

The graduate will:

• Assist with the organisation of documents, registers, and project deliverables.

• Support schedule tracking, progress reporting, and quantity take-offs.

• Contribute to tender inputs (BOQs, estimates, layout support) under direction.

• Coordinate small tasks with other team members and disciplines.

This develops an understanding of project delivery, planning, quality processes, and multidisciplinary interaction.

Supervision, Mentorship & Learning:

• Receive daily guidance from assigned engineers and mentors.

• Participate in technical reviews, team meetings, and site visits as appropriate.

• Learn standard engineering procedures, codes, and design tools.

• Gain awareness of professional responsibilities and progression toward Engineers Ireland graduate membership.

This supports the professional development and competence-building expected from an accredited Co-Op placement.

Construction & Site Support

Depending on project needs, the graduate may:

• Visit or be based on the project sites to observe construction and installation works, QA/QC procedures, and safety practices.

• Assist site engineers with measurements, progress checks, or documentation.

• Learn construction sequencing, temporary works concepts, and practical buildability considerations.

This enhances understanding of how design translates to construction, a key requirement of Engineers Ireland.

Procurement & Vendor Interface

With supervision, the student may:

• Review vendor information for completeness.

• Support technical evaluations and documentation coordination.

• Assist in tracking deliverables from suppliers and subcontractors.

This builds early experience in procurement, vendor management, and commercial awareness.

Health, Safety, Environment & Quality (HSEQ)

The graduate will:

• Follow all safety, quality, and environmental procedures.

• Participate in toolbox talks, inductions, and risk-awareness briefings.

• Support quality documentation such as checks, redlines, and revisions.

• Develop an understanding of safe design and construction practices.

These align with Engineers Ireland’s emphasis on ethics, safety, and professional responsibility.

Communication, Teamwork & Professionalism

The graduate will:

• Prepare clear notes, emails, sketches, and basic reports.

• Participate in team meetings and share updates on assigned tasks.

• Work effectively with multi-discipline engineering and construction teams.

• Demonstrate professionalism, reliability, and respect in all interactions.

This helps build the professional attributes EI expects at early career stage.

IT & Digital Engineering

The graduate will:

• Use CAD (as applicable) for basic design and drafting tasks.

• Use document management systems such as SharePoint, Asite, or InEight.

• Maintain accurate digital records and follow version control procedures.

This supports the digital competence required in modern engineering practice.
