It’s no secret that engineers are always in big demand, and there were a lot of companies that could have made this list of employers looking for talent – but we didn’t want to go on forever. For this taster list, we have included a broad sample of sectors recruiting engineers; you’ll find everything from software engineer positions to manufacturing and quality engineer roles.

We’ve also tried to keep the geographical spread as broad as possible. Yes, a lot of the roles are based in Galway, Cork, Belfast and Dublin, but there are some roles based in Waterford, Leitrim and Kildare. Remote and flexible working practices are a big draw, as recent research on software engineers in Ireland has found.

If you’re a jobseeker, after you have looked into some of the roles on this list you might want to read in further detail about what these jobs entail – especially if you’re new to engineering.
