Structural Engineer Talent Pool (M/F/X)

Founded in 1968 by Marcel PIRNAY, the PIRNAY Group is a family-owned SME employing around 40 people. We specialise in structural engineering, building services engineering, energy efficiency optimisation and sustainable development.

We deliver projects of all sizes and levels of complexity, including the Strépy-Bracquegnies boat lift, the Belgian Pavilion at Expo 2025 Osaka and the European Parliament.

As part of its continued growth, Bureau d’Études PIRNAY is looking to recruit Junior and Senior Structural Engineers for its offices in Brussels and Charleroi.
