Egis, the country’s largest multi-disciplinary consultancy, engineering and operations firm, has announced the creation of 100 new jobs. The announcement was made as Tánaiste Simon Harris visited the revamped engineering headquarters in Dublin.
The announcement comes amid increased investment in major national infrastructure projects and following a number of new contract awards to Egis. The company will fill the new roles over the next 12 months and the majority of the positions will be in engineering.
The jobs announcement was made as Tánaiste Simon Harris officially opened Egis’ newly revamped engineering headquarters at Classon House in Dundrum in Dublin 14. Egis has already recruited 80 new engineers in the last two years in Ireland, and its total Irish workforce now stands at over 630 with operations across 16 offices and sites.
Part of the French-headquartered Egis Group, a global architectural, consulting, construction engineering, operations and maintenance services firm, Egis has operated in Ireland since 1994.
The planned expansion in staff numbers follows Egis’ acquisition of JB Barry & Partners, in 2023. The acquisition of the Dublin-based engineering firm increased Egis’s expertise and footprint in Ireland as JB Barry & Partners had previously worked on key projects such as the upgrading of the Ringsend Wastewater Treatment Plant in Dublin, the N22 Cork to Limerick route and the N17/N18 Gort to Tuam PPP motorway scheme in Galway.
The announcement also follows a number of recent contract awards secured by Egis. The company was recently awarded a new contract by Transport Infrastructure Ireland to operate and maintain the Dublin Tunnel, the Jack Lynch Tunnel and monitor 1,200km of motorway. It is also acting as engineers for the Sisk Sorenson joint venture, which is building the new Adare Bypass and is involved in the REPower EU Energy Survey conducting energy assessments on 4,000 schools in Ireland.
