"Iā€™ve always been drawn to the way buildings take shape, from concept to construction. Engineering gives me the chance to be part of that journey, finding solutions that are both efficient and sustainable."

Niall joined Walsh in 2017 as a Graduate and has since built a strong track record across residential, education, and other sectors, designing both steel and concrete structures. His experience spans a variety of projects, where his attention to detail and methodical approach ensure the successful delivery of complex schemes.

A member of the Walsh Green Team, Niall has a strong focus on sustainability and is committed to developing the most economical carbon solutions and specifying materials that balance performance, durability, and environmental impact. His diligence and professionalism make him a trusted member of project teams, ensuring high-quality outcomes that align with client goals.

Fascinated by architecture and the design process from a young age, Niall pursued engineering as a way to combine problem-solving with creativity. His aptitude for mathematics and analytical thinking makes him well-suited to tackling engineering challenges with precision and efficiency.

Outside of work, Niall can be found perfecting his golf swing, surfing waves, or debating the finer points of punk versus hip-hop – an eclectic mix that keeps his playlists unpredictable!
