The engineering sector continues to evolve with confidence as skills, sustainability and long-term value shape strategic decisions. This edition reflects a considered editorial approach that connects leadership, delivery and investment to provide meaningful perspective for readers. Revisiting the standards set last year, 'ESB wins Best People Development in Engineering at Engineering Excellence Awards 2025' highlighted how workforce investment has become central to engineering excellence. That recognition sets a clear benchmark as the sector looks ahead to the 2026 awards and the expectations they continue to shape. Attention then turns to the built environment through 'Egis Engineering leads Market Quarter transformation in Limerick city centre.' The project reflects how engineering expertise is increasingly intertwined with urban regeneration, social value and long-term place making. A further dimension of progress in the engineering sector is evident as 'Premier Forest Products expands engineered timber capacity with National Timber Systems acquisition.' Together, these stories present an industry aligning people, projects and production to support a resilient and forward-looking engineering landscape.
