Opportunities for Indian Global Engineers in Ireland
Good evening, everyone. Let me first introduce myself. My name is Manoj Goyal and I work as a Design Engineer with Ardmac on Critical Mission Facilities such as cleanrooms and data centres. I am originally from Punjab India, and I must say I never thought about moving to another country until 6 years ago. A bit of background, I did my 12th standard exams in India only and then got admission to Mechanical Engineering in Thapar University Patiala. I was going through university as everyone else will do for the first 2 years. By the end of 4th Semester exams, I got an email from the Dean of University stating that I was selected as one of the Top 10 engineers in the university and was being offered a scholarship to study the remaining 2 years of my course in Trinity College Dublin. I was shocked, surprised, and intrigued by this offer. As I said before, never did I think of leaving my home country, so I was scared a bit as well. My parents were supportive but were also worried as I was the first one to study and live abroad in the family. Eventually I said yes, and next thing you know I was on a plane to Ireland, of course with my student visa in hand. Coming to Ireland six years ago was a big decision for a 19-year-old. I was moving halfway across the world, but I think at the time I was just very excited to visit another country and experience it. As soon as I landed, the first thing that I noticed about Ireland was the weather, it was so cold and windy.
