Dublin-based civil and structural engineering consultancy Will Rudd has expanded its Irish team with the appointment of civil engineer Kevin Donlon.

The appointment comes as the firm continues to grow its portfolio of civil, structural and conservation projects across Ireland and the wider UK.

Donlon brings specialist experience in water infrastructure and flood management, having worked with local authorities and national bodies on major flood defence schemes across Ireland.

His experience in hydraulic modelling and water engineering will support Will Rudd’s growing workload, both in Ireland and across the wider UK business.

Eugene Sheehy, Associate at Will Rudd Ireland, said: "Kevin's appointment reflects the strong momentum we’re seeing across our Irish operations. His specialist knowledge in water and flooding engineering strengthens our capability and supports our commitment to delivering high-quality results for clients."

Donlon added: "It's great to join Will Rudd at a time of real growth and opportunity. I'm already enjoying working with clients across Ireland and contributing to projects where expert civil engineering advice can make a real difference."
