Solid progress

Engineering is showing its strength with every new move. Henry Brothers continues to grow on strong foundations while Amey deepens its Northern Ireland presence. IBM is creating more engineering jobs in Waterford, signalling confidence in Ireland’s future, though the sector still faces a talent gap that could hold it back. Altimetrik’s acquisition of SLK hints at an AI-driven future for engineering giants, as ABM sharpens its ESG impact through the TOM Social Value Portal. Growth, investment, and social value are converging, setting a clear direction: progress is not just about bigger projects but about creating an industry that builds with purpose.
