A Dublin engineering company responsible for major projects across the technology and life sciences industries is forecasting its busiest year yet, with Jones Engineering expecting its revenue to exceed €1.9 billion in 2026.
The projected figure would mark another significant step up for the business, which has benefited from demand for large-scale infrastructure, including data centres.
Accounts reported by the Irish Times show that Jones Engineering generated €1.6 billion in turnover during 2025.
That was up from €1.28 billion in 2024, while operating profits climbed by almost two-thirds to €170 million.
The increase in earnings also pushed the company’s operating profit margin to 10.6% last year.
According to the group, the strong performance has continued into 2026. Its directors said revenue was expected to pass €1.9 billion, with a substantial amount of work already lined up for the coming years.
The company said turnover was “on track to top €1.9 billion, supported by a strong pipeline of work extending into 2027 and beyond”.
The expansion has also been reflected in its workforce.
Jones Engineering had 2,741 employees last year, an increase of 240 compared with 2024. Spending on wages rose to almost €243 million.
International business now accounts for more than half of the group’s income, its directors said.
However, operating across multiple markets has brought challenges, particularly as conflicts and geopolitical tensions disrupt the supply of materials.
“Our global operations are exposed to heightened geopolitical tensions, with ongoing conflicts across the world affecting lead times on certain materials,” the directors said.
