BIM Detailer
County Monaghan · Ireland

About our client Our client is an award-winning, family-run engineering business that has worked in the steel industry since 2004. It began in the agricultural sector and now covers structural steel fabrication and erection to EN 1090 Execution Class 3, underground and overground storage tank manufacturing to European standards, commercial and industrial fabrication, factory maintenance and bespoke decorative steelwork. It has its own design team and holds ISO 9001 certification. The role Our client is hiring two BIM Detailers to join its design team in County Monaghan on a permanent, full-time basis. You will build accurate 3D models of structural steel and fabricated steelwork, then turn them into the drawings, material lists and files the workshop and site teams use to fabricate and erect each project. The work runs across agricultural, commercial and industrial jobs, so no two weeks are the same. You will work closely with engineers, project managers and the fabrication shop, and you will need a good eye for detail because the workshop builds straight from your output. What you will do Build and maintain 3D models of structural steel frames, connections and fabricated items from engineers' and architects' drawings. Produce general arrangement, assembly and single-part fabrication drawings that are clear and accurate. Generate material lists, bolt lists, NC files and other outputs the workshop needs for cutting, drilling and assembly. Check design information, raise queries with engineers and clients when details are missing or unclear, and record the answers. Coordinate your models with other disciplines using IFC and other BIM formats, and resolve clashes before work reaches the shop floor. Manage revisions so that the workshop and site always work from the latest approved drawings. Work with the fabrication and erection teams to make sure details can be built and installed in practice. Follow the company's quality procedures so that drawings meet EN 1090 and ISO 9001 requirements.

Structural steel Welder/Fabricator
County Kerry · Ireland

The role Our client is hiring two Structural Steel Welder/Fabricators to join their team in County Kerry on a permanent, full-time basis. You will fabricate and weld structural steel parts and assemblies from engineering drawings, working through each job from marking out and cutting to the final weld and finishing. This role is for someone who has worked on structural steel before, can read fabrication drawings with confidence and takes pride in accurate, sound welds. What you will do Read and interpret fabrication and general arrangement drawings, cutting lists and weld symbols to plan each piece of work. Mark out, cut, drill and prepare steel sections, plate and hollow sections to the sizes and tolerances on the drawing. Fit up and tack beams, columns, bracing, baseplates, stairs and similar structural parts so they are square and true before final welding. Weld structural joints, mainly with MIG/MAG processes, so they meet the required standard and pass visual and any further inspection. Grind, dress and finish welds and steelwork so it is ready for painting, galvanising or delivery. Check your own work against the drawing with measuring tools and correct any problems before they go further. Operate workshop equipment safely, including saws, drills, grinders, plasma or gas cutting gear and lifting equipment. Keep your work area tidy and follow site safety rules and safe systems of work at all times.

Welding Engineer/Inspector
County Dublin · Ireland

About our client Our client is an established non-destructive testing (NDT) and inspection company in Ireland. Its team of PCN and ASNT approved technicians carries out magnetic particle, ultrasonic, radiographic, eddy current and penetrant testing, along with welding procedure approval, welder qualification, CE approval for fabricators and welder training and consultancy. Its customers include fabricators, manufacturers and plant operators, who rely on it to confirm that their work meets the quality they need. The role Our client is looking for a Welding Engineer/Inspector to join its team in County Dublin on a fixed-term contract. You will be responsible for the quality and compliance of welded stainless steel and mild steel pipework, including eccentric fittings and joints between dissimilar metals. The role calls for in-depth knowledge of TIG welding and practical experience in visual inspection, liquid penetrant testing and borescope inspection. You will need a full driving licence. What you will do Inspect welded stainless and mild steel pipework to confirm it meets the required quality and compliance standards. Assess eccentric and dissimilar metal pipe joints, paying close attention to fit-up, weld profile and material compatibility. Carry out visual inspection of welds before, during and after welding. Perform liquid penetrant testing to find surface-breaking defects and record the results accurately. Use a borescope to examine the internal weld root and bore condition of pipework that cannot be inspected directly. Review TIG welding practice and parameters, and advise welders and fabricators on how to correct defects and prevent them. Prepare clear inspection reports and quality records for each job. Travel to customer sites as required to carry out inspections.
