Coffey is proud to announce that we have been awarded Best Place to Work at the InBUSINESS Recognition Awards 2025, hosted by Chambers Ireland and INBUSINESS Magazine. The prestigious ceremony took place at Clontarf Castle in Dublin, where over 250 guests gathered to celebrate organisations making a significant impact across Irish business and beyond.
This honour is a testament to the people-first culture we have cultivated at Coffey. In this environment, our employees are empowered to grow, thrive, and contribute to a shared purpose. Our commitment to wellbeing, flexibility, inclusion, and development is deeply embedded across every stage of the employee experience, from onboarding through to career advancement.
At Coffey, we believe that building a great place to work is not a one-time achievement but a continuous journey. From structured career pathways and educational support to flexible work arrangements and inclusive initiatives, we go beyond the expected to create a workplace where people feel valued, respected, and connected. Our internal programmes include:
- Quarterly company briefings with leadership to promote transparency, encourage dialogue, and celebrate achievements across the organisation
- Comprehensive benefits, including private health insurance, enhanced leave entitlements, biannual compensation reviews, and 24/7 access to employee assistance services
- Development initiatives, such as high CPD participation, educational assistance, mentorship, career coaching, and sponsored programmes with institutions like Atlantic Technological University
- Diversity and inclusion efforts, with targeted recruitment, unconscious bias training, and employee-led support groups like Unlimited@Coffey, championing gender balance in engineering and construction
- Community engagement, through partnerships with schools and universities, career fairs, volunteering efforts, and participation in national STEM initiatives
Recognition of our workplace culture also comes from our people themselves, with 9% of last year’s workforce hired through referrals, and a notable number of team members returning after previous employment. We’ve also proudly ranked in the top 10 of the Statista Top Employers List for both 2024 and 2025, based on independent employee and peer feedback.
This award reflects our core values:
- Do the Right Thing: We act with integrity and earn trust through every decision.
- Do it Better: We constantly improve by learning, sharing, and striving for excellence.
- Do it Together: We succeed through teamwork, collaboration, and shared purpose.
We extend our thanks to our incredible team across Ireland and the UK. Your dedication, collaboration, and passion for what we do have made this recognition possible. This achievement truly belongs to you.
