Accenture’s Paraic Rattigan explores his role as an infrastructure and capital projects manager in a space that looks vastly different to when he first started out.
“I’ve always been interested in engineering and the built environment and enjoyed solving technical problems,” explained Paraic Rattigan, an infrastructure and capital projects manager at Accenture.
He told SiliconRepublic.com that, as was common with his generation growing up in Ireland, he saw first-hand the career opportunities created during the building boom of the Celtic Tiger – leading him to pursue civil engineering studies.
“I did my undergraduate degree in civil engineering at UCD, back when the faculty was one of the few remaining based in Earlsfort Terrace in Dublin. I was relatively young when I finished my undergrad and was enjoying student life, so I opted to pursue a postgraduate degree immediately after and eventually graduated with a PhD.”
