Construction & Engineering
There is a wide range of career areas and roles within the construction and engineering sectors. Though job roles and requirements vary considerably, graduates are generally well-paid across the board. The more specialised an area of engineering or construction that a graduate wishes to get into, the more a postgraduate qualification in that area is generally required and is often a prerequisite in areas such as research, biomedical engineering, and so on. Graduate engineers often join the Institute of Engineers of Ireland (IEI) and continue to take professional development courses and qualifications throughout their careers.The engineering and construction industry in Ireland is booming and there is a wide scope of career areas that engineering graduates can go into – from environmental engineering to biomedical engineering, research, aerospace engineering, agricultural engineering, civil engineering, mechanical engineering, electrical engineering, planning and development surveying, quantity surveying, and so on. Currently, 95 per cent of engineering graduates go into full-time employment in Ireland, although increasingly more and more engineering graduates are finding work abroad.
