WILL Rudd Davidson is to expand operations into Ireland with a new office in Dublin.
The engineering consultancy employs over 80 staff in Scotland and revealed the new base will see the creation of eight new roles in the coming year, including the recruitment of two graduate engineers.
Leading the Dublin and Irish team will be Glasgow’s MD, MJ O’Shaughnessy, who will be supported by associate Shane McGowan.
Will Rudd Davidson said the expansion comes at a time when investment in construction projects is ‘high’ and the market is ‘buoyant’. The team has already secured engineering contracts in the data centre, residential and hotel/leisure sectors in the immediate area and throughout the country.
MJ O’Shaughnessy said, “With projects already underway in Ireland, and a healthy pipeline of work, it made sense to expand operations and commit fully to serving the market in Ireland. I am proud of my Irish heritage and it has always been an aspiration that Will Rudd Davidson would put down some roots here, so for me personally it is a hugely exciting move.
“The expansion of Will Rudd Davidson is testament to the incredible work the whole team delivers and this is driving us forward to realise new opportunities. Already we’re experiencing a very positive year, securing a wide range of projects across the UK and Ireland in a variety of sectors including the growing energy sector.”
The Dublin base, along with satellite offices in Letrim and Limerick, will cover work throughout the whole country and will provide full civil, structural and conservation engineering and project management services across a wide range of sectors.
