Transport careers in Ireland that are transforming roads, rail, and public transit


Ireland's transport infrastructure is undergoing a bold and exciting transformation, driven by the urgent need for smarter, greener, and more connected systems. 

As cities grow and climate goals intensify, the demand for sustainable mobility solutions has never been greater.

From low-carbon public transport to active travel networks and digital innovations, the future of transport in Ireland is being reimagined to serve both people and the planet.

At AtkinsRéalis, we are proud to play a key role in this transformation. With exciting projects and growing opportunities across Ireland, we're looking for passionate professionals to help deliver the next generation of transport solutions.

The state of Ireland's transport infrastructure

After years of underinvestment, the nation is now embracing a transformative era, driven by the urgent need for sustainable, inclusive, and future-ready mobility solutions. 

This shift is not only enhancing connectivity but also positioning Ireland as a leader in environmentally conscious infrastructure development. 

The Irish government has also committed €3.9 billion in the 2025 budget to public transport, with nearly €1 million per day allocated to walking and cycling infrastructure.
