2nd year mechatronic engineering student here. I'm wondering how I go about finding short term courses, pursuing certifications to strengthen my CV and what not. I want to get my foot in the door early so I can get an internship early on. I'm looking into automation, heavy machinery and robotics, mechanical/electronic. Would looking into FET courses help with this sort of thing or should I focus on researching engineering firms and companies that would offer courses and training? Any advice at all would be very helpful and feel free to reach out and dm me about anything.

Hi Folks

Just wondering if anyone who works, or has worked at Abbott in recent years can help me out. Just wondering if Abbott offers flexible working, either flexitime, or WFH days for its engineering roles. Particularly the Quality Engineer role in Donegal.

I have a good work life balance in my current job (2 days WFH) but my wage is pretty abysmal, even for County Derry standards. I'm already used to an hour-ish commute so the 10-15 minute longer drive doesn't phase me, especially with the better quality roads in Donegal compared to the North.

Thanks

Is there any equivalent to Australia for engineers to get a better quality of living than they do in Ireland?

Does anyone have any experience regarding the Supplier Quality Engineer role at Amazon in Dublin?

How’s the salary (6 years of experience), benefits, culture and relocation assistance?

I'm not sure if I should even be asking this here but mods feel free to let me know where I should be asking this.

I'm trying to get Ethernet into my bedroom via MoCa as running an Ethernet cable isn't an option for me and powerline adapters are good awful with my setup. I bought a multimeter to test to see if my TV port coax cables were connected which they are not, using a multimeter on the cables in the attic I found the two cables I need connected but the problem is I have no clue how to do it. I've googled it and came across a load of videos of Americans but I'm not sure if our cables are the same. I'm not sure what equipment or tools I need for the job and would really appreciate the help, if you wouldn't mind explaining it as plainly as possible to help me understand.

Sorry if I'm asking in the wrong subreddit but thought I'd give here a shot.

A friends son is going to study engineering in UCD. I want to get him something nice as a gift. Any suggestions? In my day it would have been a few cans of dutch but that probably wont impress his dad.

Hey guys... May I know whether the data engineer jobs are coming under Critical skills work permit in Ireland? I am a data engineer looking for jobs in Ireland.

Hey guys! Hoping for some advice from someone who’s been in this position. I have completed my bachelor's in Chemical Engineering from Pakistan and have a year of experience working in the field and planning to pursue a Masters in a similar field in the Sept 25 intake in Ireland. Any suggestions on which universities/cities are better for International students? Plus how’s the job market for a Chemical Engineer after Masters? An estimated budget to have in mind would also be appreciated Any pros and cons that I should have in find before planning to move to Ireland? Any help would be appreciated

Hey everyone,

I've been doing a lot of research recently as I'm planning to pursue an MSc in IT-related fields in Ireland (probably in Computer Science or a similar program). But what concerns me is the high number of unemployed undergraduates and even MSc graduates I've come across, especially in the field of Computer Science and IT.

I've seen people who graduated in 2022 and 2023 still struggling to land a full-time job in their field and mostly relying on part-time work to make ends meet. It’s a bit unsettling, as I thought Ireland was supposed to be a booming hub for tech jobs with companies like Google, Meta, and Amazon having a strong presence here.

So, is getting a job in IT companies after graduation really that challenging in Ireland? Is the market oversaturated, or are there just fewer opportunities for graduates compared to what people expect? How long does it typically take to secure a job in this field, especially as an international student? And what advice would you give to someone planning to study IT in Ireland in 2025 and beyond?

I would really appreciate some insights or experiences from people in the industry or those who recently graduated. Thanks in advance!

I am a FEA engineer from Romania and i really want to move to Ireland as soon as possible. Can you guys help me with some Companies that do simulation and also treat the employees good?

Thank you in advance! :)

Hello everyone

I need your advice in my work search.

I am a Construction Manager ( Architect ) out of Ireland and seeking a work permit and moving to Ireland .

I am not here asking for a job, But to make sure I am knocking on the right doors in my search, I am connecting with recruiters through LinkedIn and keep applying on Jobs on it, Searching for a Job on sites like Irishjobs, Jobsie, ......etc, but didn't get any interview yet.

Is it that hard to find such a job there, although it is in high demand ?? and if it is not that hard, where to find the right place to search on?

Thanks in Advance, I really appreciate your help and support

Hello, I am a recently graduated Spanish industrial engineer with a specialization in electronics. In September, I will travel to Ireland (I will be staying with some relatives for a while) to try to start a new phase, and I have been trying for a month now to get at least a job interview. Is it so difficult to find a job as a recent graduate? I did a couple of internships during my studies and I have a contract job until September, so I have some experience, but it seems impossible to find something even as a junior or something similar. I have adjusted my CV several times for different interviews and also watched videos on how to do it for Irish companies, but nothing. Any advice? Is this normal?

I am currently going over my university list and I have 3 countries on top canada,NI and ROI

Canada is gr8 for opportunities but i heard theres too much competition and high cost of living

NI(belfast) has low cost of living and only a 3 year long degree but less opportunities for CS plus idk if its safe but i heard its pretty safe for brown ppl so ig thats not a problem

ROI(dublin,cork etc) literally full of big companies and so many job opportunities but a very high cost of living

I was wondering if i can work in roi after studying in NI, perhaps get a Critical skills permit but idk if i would be able to get one easily

Can someone help me choose please, i will really appreciate it

Hi everyone,

I hope you're all doing well! My name is Brian, and I'm a mechanical engineer working on an exciting startup idea. Over the past two months, I've been researching and developing this concept, and I'm hoping to take it to the next level with your help.

Currently, I work for an equipment distribution firm, and I've noticed a recurring issue in the field of equipment maintenance. Many people rarely read the manuals before operating the equipment and only consult them when something goes wrong. These manuals can be incredibly lengthy and tedious to navigate, often over 100 pages long!

My idea is to create an AI model that can answer technical questions related to industrial equipment—a specialized ChatGPT just for maintenance and troubleshooting. I believe this could make a significant difference in how maintenance is handled, saving time and reducing errors.

To validate this idea, I'm conducting some market research and would greatly appreciate your input. If you could spare 5 minutes to complete the survey linked below, it would be incredibly helpful. Your feedback will play a crucial role in demonstrating the need for such a solution and potentially getting the project started in collaboration with my current company.

Thank you so much for your time and support!

I’m moving over soon within the year around Dublin area & am trying to get a general overview on this subs consensus on this topic

Coming from California I’ve worked in both with my own pros/cons such as how public work seemed more conceptually lax but also more toxic of a workplace

While private seemed the opposite or I had to deal with shady business practices

I want a job where I have good entry work with room to grow upwards in promotion

I’m a Bachelors graduate with 2 years in water engineering for the city, then 2 more years in private firm residential work such as drafting

Has anyone graduated recently or knows anyone who has? Is it easy to find a job right now?

Well how are things I had a look at this course and it seemed really interesting but I was wondering is it any good. Is there many jobs in it. If anyone has done it or knows someone could comment that'd be great.

To put into perspective, I'm a mature student working part time. In college full time, renting and have a child.

I've just completed my lvl7 Mech Eng and got accepted into lvl8 process and engineering management. My partner works part time also. we are struggling with bills, rent, car payments etc, I'm not sure if I can go another year in college we need the extra money I'm thinking would the salary for the lvl7 and lvl8 be a big difference? Would I be mad to not go ahead with the lvl8?

Should I just keep battling on and get the lvl8 done or would I be okay salary wise on a lvl7

Thanks

Hi everyone I'm trying to sort out my cao and I'm interested in doing engineering. I had a look at polymer engineering and it looks great. It seems a great course with a 100% employability record. My only concern is I don't know if it's accredited or not. If anyone has done it and could tell me a bit about the course that'd be great.

Hello!

I am a French student that needs an internship of 4-5 months next year. I am studying chemistry and chemical engineering to become an Engineer in Chemistry.

I am looking for companies that are not in the parmaceutical field but are still in the chemical field (for example, a company that produces paint or adhesives? Or perhaps a company where knowledge in Chemistry and Computing are needed?). I dont really know what I like yet, so this internship could be a way to discover a new field of chemistry that i dont know yet.

I hope you will be able to help me!

Thank you for your time :D

Im curious what are some thoughts on doing mechanical engineering in either UL or TUS. Basic gist I know is TUS is more practically focused than UL, but Im more so asking which would be better in the long run. I'll be returning to college soon as a mature student after working as a welder for the past couple years, mechanical engineering is the one I've narrowed down as the most interesting and I just want to pick the right uni.

Any thoughts or feedback would be appreciated, especially if you went to either of the universities.

Hello Everyone on this great community

I am an Egyptian Construction Zone Manager at (New Giza for Real Estate and Developments), Egypt,

Since joining my Company I've managed the construction of New Giza University (Phase 2) Designed by (Gensler) for concept design and (RMC) for both interior and civil engineering,And now I am managing a new club (New Giza Club Extension) 

 I possess a Bachelor's degree in Architecture from the Faculty of Fine Arts, Alexandria University, Egypt. Additionally, I have been developing my skills and experience at several construction companies, for the past 17 years. My daily duties include working with contractors in the areas of drywall, paint, insulation, cabinetry, framing, flooring and finish work.

In my experience as a Construction Manager, I have learned to prioritize work in order to avoid missing deadlines. This includes the proper planning and organizing of all aspects of the construction process, both on and off-site, including working with architects, engineers, contractors and general laborers.

I am searching for a job that suits my experience and would help me get a sponsorship Visa to move to Ireland

Is it so hard to find a job there as an Egyptian, or does it need me to be physically there in Ireland?

I'm from Spain and have planned to go work there when my college finals are over (I'm just finishing my engineering degree, though I have experience working).

Any useful information would be appreciated.
