The National Treasury Management Agency (NTMA) has been awarded Engineers Ireland’s Continuing Professional Development (CPD) Accredited Employer Standard.
The NTMA is a State body which operates with a commercial remit to provide asset and liability management services to the Irish Government. Engineering capability plays a central role across the organisation, supporting infrastructure delivery, capital investment, asset management, sustainability, and long‑term value for the State.
The CPD Accredited Employer Standard is designed to help organisations enhance the skills of their engineering professionals, developing employees who are agile and adaptable, creating a workforce that is encouraged to create and innovate, and develop new solutions. Organisations that have achieved the Standard may find they are better placed to deal with change and disruption and attract and retain talent.
The NTMA supports engineers through a combination of structured learning, on-the-job experience and knowledge sharing, providing consistent pathways for professional growth and maintaining alignment with Engineers Ireland standards and organisational priorities.

It reflects the strength of our engineering talent and our commitment to maintaining the highest standards of professionalism and technical excellence. Continuous development is a core part of our offering to our people, and this accreditation recognises the investment we make in supporting our colleagues to grow and succeed. It also strengthens our ability to attract, retain and develop the engineering capability we need to deliver for the State, now and into the future.”
Damien Owens, Director General of Engineers Ireland, added: “By creating an environment of continuous growth, learning and development, the National Treasury Management Agency is ensuring its engineers are realising their full potential. It now joins the leading private and public sector organisations that have been awarded the Engineers Ireland CPD Accredited Employer Standard.”
