About Us

Egis is a leading global architectural, consulting, construction engineering, operations and maintenance services firm. We create and operate intelligent infrastructure and buildings that both respond to the climate emergency and contribute to balanced, sustainable and resilient development.

Our 20,500 employees operate across over 100 countries, deploying their expertise to develop and deliver cutting‑edge innovations and solutions for clients. From motorways to tramways, water and wastewater treatment to smart cities, clients choose us to help them solve their most complex challenges and to deliver climate‑responsible growth that meets the needs of communities, industry and the planet.

Egis has operated in Ireland since 1994 and is one of the largest multi‑disciplinary consultancy, engineering and operations firms in the country. Our services in Ireland span the full lifespan of infrastructure, from upstream feasibility studies through design, construction supervision, delivery and operations. Operating across the entire value chain of consulting, design and operation, Egis is the only group to understand infrastructure in its entirety.

Our current activities in Ireland include operating the Dublin Tunnel and the Jack Lynch Tunnel in Cork, overseeing 470km of Ireland’s motorways and working on the design and delivery of major transport projects and mobility services.

With over 600 staff in Ireland across 16 offices nationwide, we are committed to enabling sustainable economic development and responding to the requirements of population growth while addressing climate change and reducing carbon emissions. In 2023 Egis acquired JB Barry & Partners, an engineering firm which has worked on major projects such as the Ringsend Wastewater Treatment Plant in Dublin and the N17/N18 Gort to Tuam PPP motorway scheme in Galway.

The Egis engineering division is now almost 200 people strong across four offices in Dublin, Castlebar, Cork and Limerick.
