Engineers Ireland Employment Services offers employers who are recruiting staff
targeted access to the engineering profession.
The core areas of service are:
1. Graduate Placement Training Programme
2. Recruitment Services

Each service is outlined below.
2. Graduate Placement Training Programme
Over the last 2 years Engineers Ireland has developed and managed a number of
Graduate Placement Training Programmes for major engineering employers and to date
we have worked successfully with various organisations including the Office of Public
Works and Irish Rail in managing their recruitment and HR needs.
The programme offers career development for young engineers to gain experience in an
engineering environment and for the host organisation to benefit from their skills and
enthusiasm. The significant advantage of these programmes to organisations is that
Engineers Ireland remains the employer throughout the period of the engineering
graduate’s placement.
2.1 The Programme Structure
In partnership with your organisation Engineers Ireland will carry out the following
human resource and recruitment functions:
Engineers Ireland will be the employer of the graduates for the entire duration of the
placement and we will also carry out the project, financial, and administrative
management of the programme including the following specific roles:
Promotion and marketing of the graduate placement programme and positions.
CV harvesting, screening and short listing of candidates for interviews.
If required, we can manage and host the interviews at Engineers Ireland HQ.
Development of interview questions, matrices and assessments.
Letters of appointment and employment contracts.
Revenue & payroll management.
2.2 Cost
The cost of the programme is primarily based upon the following:
Salary levels of the graduate placements, plus employers PRSI
The number of graduates on placement

Engineers Ireland’s management & overhead fees.
2.3 Salary
The salary level is determined by your organisation, however as a guide, graduates have
been recently placed on salaries in the range of €27k – €34k per annum. We would
recommend that in order to make the programme attractive to the best candidates, that a
salary close to €30k per annum should be strongly considered.
2.4 Duration
In general, our programmes can run up to 4 years and we can work with your
organisation to determine a suitable placement period to meet your specific needs.
