AtkinsRéalis has officially opened its new Dublin office in the presence of transport minister Darragh O'Brien, marking a significant milestone in the company's continued growth and investment in Ireland.

The newly refurbished AtkinsRéalis House, located in Airside Business Park, will support more than 300 staff in their work to deliver major infrastructure projects across Ireland’s transportation, energy, water and buildings and places markets.

Increasing its Irish workforce to about 1,000 by 2030

The multimillion-euro upgrade follows a period of significant growth and expansion for AtkinsRéalis in Ireland. In 2024, the company announced plans to increase its Irish workforce from approximately 370 employees to about 1,000 by 2030.

Since then, AtkinsRéalis has continued to strengthen its presence in Ireland, including through the acquisition of Galway-headquartered engineering and project management consultancy TOBIN. The acquisition added approximately 200 employees and further expanded the company's regional footprint and capabilities, bringing the Irish team to more than 750-strong.

Martina Finn, managing director for AtkinsRéalis Ireland, said: "Demand for expertise across transportation, energy, water and the built environment continues to grow as Ireland invests in nationally significant projects that support economic development, strengthen resilience and improve quality of life. Through our expanded presence, more than 50 years of operating in Ireland and a growing multidisciplinary team, we are well placed to help clients deliver these programmes successfully.

"As our head office in Ireland, AtkinsRéalis House reflects our ambition to continue growing across the country, creating opportunities for talented people to build rewarding careers while delivering projects that make a lasting difference to communities. Together, we remain focused on delivering sustainable infrastructure that supports Ireland's long-term prosperity and transition to a low-carbon future."

Minister Darragh O’Brien said: “I am delighted to mark the official opening of AtkinsRéalis’ newly refurbished Dublin office at Airside Business Park, Swords. This investment reflects the company’s continued growth in Ireland and its long-term commitment to supporting the delivery of major infrastructure across transport, energy, water and the built environment.

“As government continues to invest in the infrastructure needed to support a growing economy and population, access to high-quality engineering and technical expertise will be essential. I welcome AtkinsRéalis’ continued investment in its people and facilities in Fingal East and across Ireland, and I wish the team every success in this next phase of its development.”

Professionals working from the head office are involved in the delivery of all of AtkinsRéalis’ key projects across Ireland. This includes helping deliver improvements to Ireland's rail network through Irish Rail and DART+; supporting Transport Infrastructure Ireland to deliver new  roads and maintain the existing road network, as  well as on the advanced works for Dublin’s Metrolink, and working  on Uisce Éireann's flagship Water Supply Project to secure future water resilience; providing multidisciplinary services for critical infrastructure projects across Dublin Airport Authority's airport portfolio; and enabling the expansion of renewable energy through onshore and offshore wind projects that will help EirGrid meet Ireland's decarbonisation and energy security objectives.

The company also has offices in Cork, Galway and Dundalk.
