Our Professional Development Programme is a formal and structured programme focused on ensuring an effective and successful path to Chartership.
Training will encapsulate Design, Site Experience, Commercial Awareness, Project Management, Communication, Health & Safety.
Training will consist of on-the-job learning, in-house lectures, recommended reading lists by discipline, workshops, employee-led webinars combined with external training courses through Engineers Ireland, the ACEI and others. We will sign you up for the Engineers Ireland Certificate in Professional Engineering on joining PUNCH.
You will get the opportunity to work across a very diverse range of projects across Residential, Commercial, Healthcare, Education, Logistics, Offices, Retail, Leisure & Hospitality, Infrastructure & Conservation.
You will be empowered to carry out site inspections and check designs , all in the company of more senior staff.
Regular mentoring meetings backed up by progress reports ensure that you remain on track to broaden and deepen your skills as an engineer.
PUNCH is committed to its Hybrid Working policy. We also recognise the need for junior staff to be present in the office to a greater degree than more senior staff, to facilitate their training and development and general intellectual knowledge of the company. This also requires senior staff to be present in the office to provide that essential in-person mentoring and training in both a direct and indirect manner.
Progression to Chartership is a major goal for all of our Graduate Engineers. Under our proven and dedicated professional development programme we will help you realize your goals. On joining PUNCH, we make a commitment to you, not just as a Graduate Engineer, but throughout your career. We invest in our people, both in human terms and financially, to ensure you achieve your goals, both as a person and professionally. Three of our current board of directors came through the PUNCH Graduate programme.
