Infrastructure consultancy AECOM has officially opened its new base in Dublin, as the firm looks to create around 100 new jobs across the Republic of Ireland. 

The new office at One Burlington Plaza, Burlington Road, Dublin 4, was officially opened by the Irish Taoiseach, Micheál Martin.

AECOM says the new office is “reinforcing the firm’s commitment to the Irish market”.

The firm recently announced a recruitment drive in Ireland where it currently employs more than 750 people across offices in Dublin, Cork, Galway and Belfast.

AECOM is planning to hire approximately 100 new people into its business across all career levels, from apprentices and graduates to mid and senior management.

Taoiseach Micheál Martin said: “I am delighted to officially open this new facility for AECOM in Dublin. I am particularly heartened by AECOM’s continued focus on growth in Ireland and their creation of jobs right across the island in Dublin, Cork, Galway and Belfast.

“Infrastructure is critical to the functioning of our economy and our communities. This Government is committed to delivering a step-change in infrastructure to match our growing economy and population. I have no doubt that AECOM will continue to play a leading role in infrastructure projects going forward with the development of this new office.”

John O’Regan, country leader, Ireland, at AECOM, said: “We are delighted to welcome the Taoiseach, Micheál Martin, to our new Dublin headquarters to mark this momentous occasion. The proceedings underscore AECOM’s commitment to increasing our presence in Ireland, further supported by our ongoing recruitment drive, as we look to continue to build on the deep bench of skills and experience of our Ireland team.”

AECOM is currently working on some of Ireland’s most important projects, including the Dublin Airport Enhancement Programme, the LinkedIn European headquarters, the surgical hubs programme for the Health Service Executive, the Land Development Agency’s Housing Programme and active travel programmes nationally.
