CSA Project Engineer

Your New Role

Due to significant growth across our data centre portfolio in Europe, Kirby is expanding its CSA Engineering team. We are recruiting an additional CSA Engineer to support the delivery of large‑scale hyperscale data centre projects from design coordination through construction, commissioning and handover.

This is an excellent opportunity for a CSA Engineer seeking high‑impact experience across civil, structural and architectural packages within fast‑paced, technically complex data centre environments.

You will work alongside a multidisciplinary team including MEP engineering, QA/QC, commissioning, planning, BIM, project management and commercial functions.

The successful candidate will be supported by senior colleagues and integrated into an experienced, high‑performing delivery team
 
What You'll Need to Succeed

• Degree‑level qualification (BSc or higher) in Civil, Structural or Architectural Engineering, or related discipline

• Willingness to undertake site‑based work in Ireland, the UK or Europe
• Strong understanding of construction drawings, site coordination and installation standards
• Ability to work across multidisciplinary teams and manage subcontractor interfaces
• Kirby supports hybrid working where possible, though project roles typically require site presence
