Coffey is accelerating its growth within the energy sector, deploying a specialist team to deliver the infrastructure essential for a more resilient and cleaner energy system throughout Ireland and the United Kingdom.
Central to this strategic push are Energy Director John Gibbons and Contracts Managers Allen Dolan and Gerard McGuigan. Leveraging extensive experience in the delivery of complex projects, the trio has been instrumental in reinforcing Coffey's standing as a reliable partner for energy infrastructure on both sides of the Irish Sea. Having developed their careers within the firm over several years, they provide a combination of technical expertise and a focus on assured delivery across technologies including grid stabilisation, bioenergy, and rapid power generation solutions.
As the energy transition gains momentum, Coffey is scaling its capabilities to meet rising demand. The Energy team is currently targeting new opportunities and expanding into priority regions to support assets that enable renewable generation and provide flexible capacity. This expansion is underpinned by decades of engineering knowledge and established local operations.
The company's multidisciplinary, self-delivery model ensures that the civil engineering foundations of every project—from structural elements and access routes to drainage and high-voltage integration—are managed with precision and safety. This approach has been refined over more than 50 years, supporting a range of projects from early renewable schemes to contemporary, large-scale infrastructure.
Energy has been identified as a primary pillar of Coffey's long-term growth strategy, with the business planning for significant expansion in the coming years. By investing in people, partnerships, and internal capability, the firm aims to meet the evolving needs of the sector across both markets. The leadership provided by Gibbons, Dolan, and McGuigan is central to this ambition, combining operational excellence with a commitment to sustainable growth and long-term client value.
As Coffey continues to progress, its focus remains on enhancing communities through engineering excellence, providing the innovative infrastructure required to make a low-carbon future viable.
