Hi, I'm Martina. I'm a Chartered Engineer and the Managing Director of AtkinsRéalis Ireland. I've been part of this fantastic organization since 2001 and now lead our engineering and design consultancy business across the country. Over the years, I've worked on some fantastic projects – from Dublin's Metrolink Advanced Works to the London Olympics and the restoration of Ireland's National Military Archives. Learn more about AtkinsRéalis Ireland.
How civil engineering careers transform your future?
My path into engineering started back in school. After a conversation at a careers evening, I decided to study civil engineering at Dundalk Institute of Technology, followed by a degree at Ulster University in Belfast. That decision opened doors to an international career – from Belfast to London to Sydney – where I worked as a structural engineering consultant. It's been a brilliant journey.
Supporting STEM careers in Ireland
As a female engineer, I'm passionate about breaking down barriers for the next generation. I regularly take part in mentoring, reverse mentoring, and outreach with my colleagues to support more women in STEM. Through Engineers Ireland's STEPS programme, we visit primary and secondary schools to help children, especially girls aged 7 to 9 and 15 to16, understand how engineering is part of everyday life. See how everyone belongs with us.
Helping girls see a future in engineering
There are still misconceptions around who engineering is for. Many young girls feel it's not a space where they belong. We challenge that by showing just how broad the industry is. From civil and structural to biomedical, telecoms and renewables, there's something for everyone, and the opportunity to travel and make a real impact. Read another female colleague's story.
Entry routes into engineering consultancy jobs
It's also easier to get into engineering than many people realise. There are multiple entry routes, from apprenticeships to level 7–9 degrees. Many universities now offer common entry courses where you specialise later. At AtkinsRéalis, we're proud to support scholarships, including one this year at University College Dublin. Explore exciting paths into engineering.
Why everyone belongs at AtkinsRéalis?
When I graduated, I was the only female in my university year to do so. But times have changed. AtkinsRéalis is focused on attracting talent from all backgrounds – especially at early and mid-career levels. We've built a workforce that spans cultures and continents, with engineers from Albania, Portugal, South Africa, and beyond. That diversity is one of our biggest strengths. It brings new thinking, creativity, and better client and community outcomes. See how we support our young professionals.
Putting people first
Our people are our greatest asset. When we invest in their growth, foster inclusion, and allow everyone to bring their authentic selves to work, we create a space where people thrive and brilliant engineering happens. See our people brilliant at work.
Make sure your next role includes mentorship.
If you're starting out, my advice is: get a mentor. Join a development programme. Talk about your career goals, both technical and personal. At AtkinsRéalis, you'll have all the support you need to discover which direction you'd like to take your career and how to get there.
Why I have a reverse mentor?
And don't stop there – get involved in the industry. Join Engineers Ireland or the Association of Consulting Engineers of Ireland. Take part in outreach, speak to students, and share your journey. Reverse mentoring has taught me so much. It's helped me grow as a leader and is a brilliant way to connect across disciplines and generations. I'd recommend it to anyone.
