Engineering Administrator

Overview

Catalyx is looking for an Engineering Administrator to support its customer site in Cork, County Cork, Ireland. The assignment is a 12-month contract, with a chance that it may be extended. The role sits within a company that delivers machine vision and automation solutions for regulated, high-risk industries, helping manufacturers and logistics businesses improve quality, throughput, and operational performance.

About Catalyx

Catalyx has spent over three decades building technology applications and supporting technical operations across highly regulated sectors. With nine offices worldwide, more than 550 employees, and over 3,000 completed projects, the company focuses on solving complex process challenges at scale and enabling continuous improvement for its clients.

Role Summary

This position supports engineering and site operations in a compliance-focused environment. The administrator will help keep documentation current, coordinate contractors and vendors, support maintenance activity tracking, and assist with audit readiness and general operational follow-up.

Key Responsibilities

Core duties include preparing and circulating monthly EMS reports for pressure, temperature, and humidity; collecting operational data accurately and on time; and maintaining engineering records in a controlled, up-to-date state. The role also involves coordinating contractor access and activities, supporting site inductions and documentation requirements, and helping manage preventative maintenance tracking.
