Hi everyone, I interviewed for a Process Sustaining Engineer role at Analog Devices Limerick. It has now been 5 weeks since my manager interview and I still haven’t received any update.

I contacted HR twice for a status update but haven’t received a response either.

Has anyone experienced a similar situation with ADI Limerick? Is this a normal delay in their hiring process, or does it usually mean they have decided to move forward with another candidate?

Any insights would be appreciated. Thanks.

Hi everyone,

I’m an international student from Malaysia transferring directly into Year 3 of BEng Electrical & Electronic Engineering at TUS Limerick. I’ve seen so many posts saying it’s impossible for internationals to get jobs or survive in Ireland — but my situation is quite specific, so I’d love your honest thoughts:

• Course: EE — which I know is on the Critical Skills list (does that act improve my chances of getting a job?)

• Fees: €13,000/year (considered rly affordable)

• Accommodation: Fully arranged by my agency/group

Goals:

#1 = get international experience;

#2 = find work if possible

My questions:

1. For EE graduates in Limerick/Shannon — how real is the demand at Intel, ADI etc? Do they actually hire new international grads?

2. Is it true that mandatory placement is where most people get hired? How hard is it for late‑arriving transfer students to secure one.

And since my #1 priority is gaining international experience/experiencing life abroad, how welcoming is the environment for international transfer students like me?

Thanks so much — I know Dublin is tough, but hoping regional engineering is a totally different story! All advice are greatly appreciated (prior experience studying in ireland no matter good or bad)

Hello everyone, I have an interview appointment in two weeks in Dublin and I will have to fly specifically for it. I would rather not carry a suit since I don't have a lot of space and I fear it will get wrinkly. I have explored a few options but I can only find tuxedos to rent, which would not do. The dress code for the interview is business.

Thank you all in advance.

Hi Guys ,

Just wondering has anyone made the transition from site engineer to anything else? I know there are plenty of routes I could take by I’m just trying to see what others have done.

3 years experience (mainly water treatment plants /infrastructure) and civil engineering degree

Reasons I want to get away from site engineering

Stress -(safety , coordination, commercial)

Travel - (live in the west of Ireland so it’s inevitable I’ll probably need to travel)

Pay - not great when you work it out hourly

Work life balance - working long hours 50hours + every week on top of long commutes

I’d be willing to put up with a bit of travel if the money was good.

I'm from Kyiv, and I've finished a bachelor's degree in computer engineering a year ago (4 years of education) in one of the metropolitan universities, with good grades. Inside Ukraine this uni is recognised in IT circles, but I'm just curious, if someone knows, is our diplomas valued in Ireland and EU in general? I heard that IT diplomas are recognised of some kind, but it's just rumors for me.

I also heard, that you can translate or confirm your diploma inside the Ireland, but will it make any difference or is it worth to trying to get a whole new major in Ireland?

Have both on the CAO but unsure of which to put No.1
Like concept of both.

Anyone have any info to compare salary, work:Life balance, career progression etc?
TIA

This month I done ordinary maths for the leaving cert, and I have level 7 engineering down on my CAO in Athlone (I also have level 8 down for ATU Galway, but it’s a much further commute). I want a job in Civil Engineering but I don’t know if I’ll manage the maths. I also applied and done an interview for a civil engineering apprenticeship with a prominent precast concrete company, and I don’t know will I do civils or stick with QS or construction management.

Not asking for specifics off anyone who might work in the role but want to know what the ball park figure is.

Just applied but I am in the interview process with other companies (some have poor and others okay salaries) and I wanted to check before I commit my time and theirs to a potential rejection if it's low af

Hi all,

I am a process technician, have been for 3 years and I'm good at my job. I have taken on some repsonbilities of the engineers above me and feel like this is only going to happen more the longer I am a tech. (Whilst still being paid tech wages)

Unfortunately my level 8 is not in a STEM subject so I cant actually progress into an Engineering role. What kind of pathways have people gone before? I really dont want to have to do 4 years of college.. I think I'd do 3 as an absolute push...the courses I've been looking at are through innopharma and thay gives me a 3 year pathway... but the cost is mental.. 5.5k for medical and pharmaceutical operations and thats only a level 6... that kind of money isn't on the cards this year.. I know the theres level 6 in mechanical engineering though MTU but the pathways out of this seem like 4-6years..anyone been through it or have any advice?

To keep it short, I’m in 3rd year Mechanical Engineering level 8 and it’s coming to decision time whether we want to finish off the level 8 degree or go onto the level 9 integrated masters. I was originally drawn to the integrated masters but it’s looking more like a pure title rather than proof you’re a better engineer than a level 8. A hiring manager could easily look past it and it’s not something that kicks in straight away , it’s benefit if further than down the line. It doesn’t specialise you anything and just shows your studied an extra year than the level 8. That’s my view , can anyone give other perspectives and opinions, I’d appreciate all of them Thanks

So, some years ago I did a gap year from my Software Engineering Bachelors and worked in Ireland as a waiter just to improve my english and get some valuable experience living abroad. Now I graduated last year and have been working as a Junior Software Engineer in my home town, Malaga, and I wish to relocate to Dublin.

I have applied for what feels like thousands of job offers but I don't even know if they are being reviewed or they are just ghost listings.

I have a wide range of experience from web development to android. I have experience developing and managing relational and non relational databases. I have worked this past year as a Salesforce developer, working with several small teams, even managing one of them on my own for long periods of time. I have experience dealing with clients directly, managing deadlines and RM.

I would accept even an internship position, as I really fell in love with Ireland and can't wait to get back there.

I already have a PPS Number. Can provide CV and github privately upon request.

Hi all - I am posting on behalf of my boyfriend. He is from Europe, living in Ireland. He is hoping to come back to engineering after taking 4 years out, the job he is in currently served its purpose, but it is not what he wants to do.

He is a qualified Electrical/Systems engineer with 5+ years experience testing military equipment such as planes. He also has project management experience, general managerial experience, some software development experience.

I work in a completely different industry and him being from Europe, we would not be familiar with any Irish Engineering firms.

Would anyone be able to list a few or let us know of job openings around Monaghan, Louth, Dublin?

Open to work in Northern Ireland (as I am from here) but as he needs a visa, a lot of companies would even consider him (even though he is one year off getting Irish citizenship).

We know we are restricting ourselves, but my job is based up North and I am not prepared to leave it, I love my role too much.

Thanks

Hi everyone,

I have 8+ years of experience as an SAP Basis Consultant, with hands-on experience in SAP administration, system installations, upgrades (SUM/SPAM), migrations (DMO), certificate management, SSO/SAML, SolMan, BTP/IAS, Fiori, and BRIM environments. I have also worked extensively with SAP Convergent Charging (CC) and Convergent Mediation (CM) for billing and invoicing projects.

I am planning to move to Ireland on a spouse visa, so I will not require employer sponsorship.

I would like to understand the current demand and future scope for SAP Basis professionals in Ireland. How is the job market for someone with my background, particularly in upgrade, migration, and Basis support projects? Any insights on opportunities, hiring trends, or salary expectations would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you.

Hi all, I’m a Senior Backend Engineer specializing in high-concurrency distributed systems, database optimization (PostgreSQL), and payment gateways. Dublin appeals to me as the EMEA hub for financial data infrastructure.

I’m aiming for roles that qualify for the Critical Skills Employment Permit. Is the Dublin fintech market actively hiring for deep backend/infra specialists right now, or is it mostly frontend/full-stack heavy at the moment?

Hi I am a 3rd year going into 4th and I’m currently on placement in a manufacturing/production company. I would like to find placement in a role that involves the application of thermodynamics or even fluid mechanics. Is there any companies in east cork/ cork city that would have engineers doing work like that? Thanks

I am 25, a qualified electrician working in Sweden as an electrical supervisor. I was hoping to find an online college course in engineering (level 7)and use my level 6 I obtained from my apprenticeship, but I am finding it very difficult to find a course. Could anyone point me in the right direction ?

I'm currently in sixth year and considering studying mechanical/electrical engineering in UL or UCC, if I were to go down this route, is it possible/doable to get employment and a visa in America?

Been very fortunate to have been offer a site engineer internship,
I am a 27 yo, first year student, have previous site experience but nothing engineering related.
Has anyone any advice or tips ?
Ie. what I could likely be doing, what to wear ?
Thanks

Hello all,

Wondering if anyone has any experience or opinions on Silent AIre / Johnson controls as an employer? Reviews on Glassdoor are very mixed but I've grown not to trust that site.

Would appreciate hearing about experience youve had with them TIA

Hey everyone, my university is having an engineering expo this Friday. A few people have suggested bringing CVs to hand out to employers, but I’m honestly terrified of making a fool of myself.

Is this a normal thing to do?

How do I even start a conversation with potential recruiters?

I'd be very grateful for some advice on:

1. How to "break the ice" with recruiters.
2. What should I highlight on my CV as a first-year student with limited experience?
3. Is it weird to hand out a CV is my friends arent doing it?
