About Thainara Souza

Contact Details :+ 353 (0) 83 346 7157 | thainara77_souza@hotmail.comNationality: Brazilian (Stamp4) I’m a bilingual civil engineer (Portuguese and English) with a BEng (Hons) in Civil Engineering, bringing over 6 years of experience across residential, commercial, and infrastructure projects. I am passionate about construction in all its dimensions—from hands-on on-site project management to detailed consulting and design. Since 2019, I’ve worked in the Irish construction industry, initially supporting project management teams in delivering complex multi-storey developments like Burnell Place, Northern Cross, Dublin 17, where I coordinated design and construction activities, managed schedules, and ensured projects met budget, quality, and safety targets. Currently, I focus on structural and civil design, covering reinforced concrete, masonry, and steel structures, as well as drainage, road layouts, and Sustainable Urban Drainage Systems (SuDS). I collaborate with architects, clients, and multidisciplinary teams to optimise design efficiency, material use, and compliance with Irish building codes and BCAR requirements. Proficient in AutoCAD, MasterSeries, Tekla Tedds, MicroDrainage, and XP Site3D, I combine technical expertise with leadership and communication skills, guiding teams and stakeholders to deliver projects on time, within budget, and to the highest quality and safety standards. My dual experience on-site and in consulting allows me to bridge the gap between design and execution, transforming complex challenges into practical, efficient solutions while inspiring teams to achieve their best.
