AtkinsRéalis, a world‑class engineering services and nuclear company, has confirmed the completion of its acquisition of TOBIN, a leading Irish engineering and project management consultancy headquartered in Galway.

AtkinsRéalis has a long-standing presence in Ireland, delivering across key national programmes for over 25 years, with its Irish headquarters in Dublin and offices in Cork, Galway and Dundalk. It has played a key role in delivering major infrastructure programmes across Ireland, including work on Iarnród Éireann’s DART+ rail schemes, EirGrid’s electricity transmission investment programme, the Water Supply Project for Uisce Éireann (Irish Water), and ongoing upgrades at Dublin Airport.

The acquisition strengthens AtkinsRéalis’ presence in the country, increasing its regional workforce to over 700 employees and enhancing its ability to support the country’s ambitious programme of infrastructure development across transport, water, energy and the built environment. TOBIN has delivered key projects across both the public and private sectors, including its role on the Water Supply Project for the Eastern and Midlands Region and environmental consultancy for the Codling Wind Park transmission infrastructure.

Martina Finn, Market Director for Ireland, AtkinsRéalis, said: “Completing the acquisition of TOBIN marks an important step in strengthening our presence across Ireland. Together, we are increasing our capacity to deliver locally, expanding our regional footprint and bringing a broader range of technical expertise to support Ireland’s infrastructure ambitions and long-term sustainable growth.”

“This is a significant milestone for our business and our people. Becoming part of AtkinsRéalis gives us greater scale and access to global expertise, while staying true to the values and client focus that have underpinned our success in Ireland. We are excited about the opportunities ahead as we continue to grow together and deliver for clients in the future,” said Ciaran McGovern, Managing Director, TOBIN.

The acquisition was completed following the necessary regulatory approvals.
