Job Title: Project Engineer
Sectors: Chemical / Petrochemical / Oil & Gas / Manufacturing / Process Plant / Air Separation / Cryogenics
Location: Cork, Ireland
Employment Type: Permanent
Package: Competitive salary + Car Allowance + Bonus + Pension + Holiday Allowance

About the Opportunity:
We are currently seeking three experienced Project Engineers to join a globally recognised engineering organisation on a permanent basis, following the award of multiple new projects.

Based in Cork, this role offers an exciting opportunity to be a key player in the delivery of complex engineering projects from concept through to realisation. Project values typically range between €100k and €3M and span across internal business investments and third-party client work throughout Ireland and the UK.

As a Project Engineer, you will support senior project managers and work within a multidisciplinary engineering team to ensure the successful execution of projects—on time, within budget, and to the highest safety and quality standards.

Key Responsibilities:

Lead and support the execution of engineering projects from initial studies through to delivery.

Prepare feasibility studies, cost estimates, and proposals for a variety of capital projects.

Coordinate with cross-functional engineering teams to ensure alignment throughout the project lifecycle.

Oversee project progress in line with safety, health, environmental, and quality (SHEQ) standards.

Manage communication between stakeholders, contractors, and internal teams to ensure seamless delivery.

Essential Qualifications & Experience:

Degree, HNC or HND in a relevant engineering discipline (Process, Mechanical, Electrical, or equivalent).

Minimum 3 years of industrial experience within a process, energy, or manufacturing environment.

Demonstrated experience in the successful delivery of engineering projects on time, to budget and to required standards.

Strong understanding of SHEQ principles in a project environment.

Candidates must have the right to work in Ireland.

What We Value:
We are proud to promote a culture of inclusion, respect, and equality. We are committed to building a diverse workforce and welcome applications from individuals of all backgrounds, particularly those currently underrepresented in the engineering sector. Our goal is to create a workplace where everyone feels supported, valued, and empowered to contribute to their fullest potential

Quantum Computing Recruitment Trends 2025 (UK): What Job Seekers Need To Know About Today’s Hiring Process

Summary: UK quantum computing hiring has shifted from credential‑first screening to capability‑driven evaluation. Employers now value provable contributions across the stack—algorithms & applications, compilation & optimisation, circuit synthesis, control & calibration, hardware characterisation, error mitigation/correction (QEM/QEC), verification/benchmarking, and hybrid HPC/quantum workflows—plus the ability to communicate trade‑offs, costs and feasibility to non‑quantum teams. This guide explains what’s changed, what to expect in interviews and how to prepare—especially for quantum algorithm engineers, quantum software/compilers, experimentalists, quantum control & firmware, cryo/readout engineers, quantum error correction researchers, verification/benchmarking specialists, and quantum‑adjacent product managers. Who this is for: Quantum algorithm/applications engineers, compiler/optimisation engineers, control/firmware engineers, experimental physicists & hardware engineers (superconducting, trapped ion, photonic, spin/neutral atom), cryogenics & RF/microwave, QEC researchers, verification/benchmarking specialists, quantum‑HPC orchestration engineers, and product/BD roles in the UK quantum ecosystem.

Why Quantum Computing Careers in the UK Are Becoming More Multidisciplinary

Quantum computing has long been considered an elite subfield of physics and computer science. But as quantum technologies advance—from fault-tolerant hardware to quantum algorithms and quantum cryptography—they’re moving closer to real applications in finance, materials simulation, optimisation, cryptography and more. As this transition happens, UK quantum computing careers are becoming increasingly multidisciplinary. Quantum systems are no longer just the domain of physicists and quantum software engineers. If quantum technologies are to be trusted, adopted and regulated, professionals must also incorporate expertise in law, ethics, psychology, linguistics & design. In practice, quantum computing projects now intersect with data governance, risk, human interaction, explainability and communication. In this article, we’ll explore why quantum computing careers in the UK are shifting to multidisciplinary roles, how these five supporting fields intersect with quantum work, and what job-seekers & employers should do to keep up in this evolving frontier.

Quantum Computing Team Structures Explained: Who Does What in a Modern Quantum Department

Quantum computing has shifted from lab curiosity to the next frontier of high-impact computing. Across the UK, universities, national labs, start-ups, and established tech and finance firms are building quantum teams to explore algorithms, design hardware, and deliver quantum-ready software. As momentum grows, so does the need for clear, robust team structures. Because quantum R&D spans physics, engineering, computer science, and product, ambiguity about who does what can slow progress, increase risk, and inflate costs. This guide maps the typical roles in a modern quantum computing department, how they collaborate across the research-to-product lifecycle, skills and backgrounds UK employers expect, indicative salary ranges, common pitfalls, and practical ways to structure teams that move fast without breaking science.
