Similarly we are recruiting graduate and more experienced engineers where I work. Look for career opportunities at EirGrid - good pay, unsackable (govt. job basically) and technical/interesting/stimulating. EirGrid is the company responsible for developing and managing the electricity transmission network of the Republic of Ireland and the associated electricity market. Take a look if you fancy a move somewhere different. Obviously best suited to electrical engineers but I'm a mechanical engineer myself.
