Powering Progress: The Team Driving Coffey’s Energy Expansion Across Ireland and the UK

Coffey’s continued growth in the energy sector is being driven by a dedicated team focused on delivering the infrastructure that underpins the transition to a cleaner, more secure energy system across Ireland and the UK.

At the centre of this expansion are John Gibbons, Energy Director, alongside Contracts Managers Allen Dolan and Gerard McGuigan. With extensive experience in complex infrastructure delivery, the team plays a key role in strengthening Coffey’s position as a trusted partner in energy development across both markets.

Having each built their careers within Coffey over several years, they bring deep technical knowledge, strong client relationships, and a shared commitment to delivery excellence. Their work supports the development of critical infrastructure across a range of energy technologies, including bioenergy, grid stabilisation, and fast-track power generation.

Expanding Capability Across Ireland and the UK

As the pace of the energy transition accelerates, demand for reliable, high-quality infrastructure continues to grow. Coffey is responding by expanding its presence and capability across Ireland and the UK, supporting clients in delivering projects that are essential to energy security and decarbonisation.

The Energy team is actively focused on developing new opportunities, strengthening strategic partnerships and broadening Coffey’s footprint in key regions. This includes supporting the delivery of infrastructure that enables renewable generation, enhances grid resilience and provides flexible power solutions.

With established operations in both Ireland and the UK, Coffey is well positioned to bring its proven delivery model to a wider market, combining local knowledge with decades of engineering expertise.

Delivering the Infrastructure Behind Energy

While energy projects are often defined by the technologies they deploy, their success depends on the quality of the underlying infrastructure. Civil engineering plays a critical role in enabling these developments, from foundations and structural works to access, drainage and high-voltage integration.

Coffey’s self-delivery model and multidisciplinary approach ensure that every stage of a project is managed with precision, safety and accountability. This approach has been refined over more than 50 years, supporting projects that range from early renewable developments to today’s complex, large-scale energy infrastructure.

Supporting Long-Term Growth

Energy is a central pillar of Coffey’s long-term growth strategy, with the business targeting significant expansion in the years ahead. By investing in people, capability and partnerships, Coffey is building the capacity required to meet the evolving needs of the energy sector across both Ireland and the UK.

The leadership of John, Allen and Gerard reflects this ambition, combining operational expertise with a clear focus on sustainable growth and long-term value for clients.

Engineering Tomorrow’s Energy Infrastructure

As Coffey continues its growth journey, its purpose remains clear: enhancing communities through engineering excellence. The transition to a low-carbon future will require not only innovation in energy generation, but also the infrastructure that makes it possible.

Through the strength of its people and its proven approach to delivery, Coffey is playing an important role in shaping that future across Ireland and the UK.
