H&MV Engineering, a specialist in high voltage engineering services, has announced the creation of 50 jobs and the opening of an office branch in Little Island, Co Cork.

The company has witnessed extensive growth and expansion nationally and globally in recent years. Choosing this ideally located new office in the Cork region will complement the growing demand for H&MV’s much sought-after engineering and design services, the firm said. 

Ever-growing hyperscale data centre sector

Ireland’s climate change commitments and the ever-growing hyperscale data centre sector has led to continued and stable growth for H&MV Engineering.

With the opening of the new Cork office, the company has plans to heavily expand the design team, anticipating up to 50 positions available over the next 12 to 18 months.

It is envisaged that Cork will become one of the main design hubs for H&MV Engineering, to support major projects across Ireland, United Kingdom, mainland Europe, the Middle East, Asia, and Africa.

CEO PJ Flanagan said: “We are delighted to be opening a new design hub here in Cork. Cork has always been a great source of high- quality engineers and talent for H&MV over the last number of years.

Sustainable design initiatives

"H&MV is continuously creating new sustainable design initiatives and we see this hub as a major cornerstone to support our growth plans over the next three to five years."

With continued job creation plans in mind, H&MV has built strong relationships with the local third-level institutions, engaging with graduate and work placement students at University College Cork and Munster Technological University, and it plans to continue to build on the foundations of this relationship with the new office location.

Enterprise Ireland’s department manager, construction, timber, cleantech and consumer, Ross O’Colmain said: “H&MV is an Irish company with global reach and we are delighted to have supported its recent development and its ambitious plans for the future. 

"The company has earned a worldwide reputation for design, safety and innovation in a competitive environment and its great to see that its new Cork office will play a critical role in H&MV’s future growth plans."
