Slane company announces 200 new jobs
Slane-based company MTM Engineering is to create 200 new jobs which will bring its total workforce to over 1,000 people by the end of the year. The announcement was made at official opening of its new headquarters at Grangegeeth, Slane, on Tuesday.
MTM is a global service provider of the critical path in power and communication services and specialises in the data centre sector.
The new offices, which accommodate 40 of the new roles locally, reflect MTM Engineering’s commitment to investing in both the local community and its international operations.
With 90 per cent of its revenues generated outside Ireland, MTM Engineering has established itself as a major player in global markets, particularly in the rapidly growing data centre sector.
Speaking on the announcement, Brendan Mee, MTM's CEO, said: “This is an exciting milestone for us, and we are proud to announce the expansion of our headquarters here in Slane, creating 200 new jobs. The investment represents our long-term commitment to growing both our business and our presence in the local community – as well as throughout Europe and beyond.
"The new roles will span a variety of functions, including engineering, operations, finance, commercial, health & safety, quality, logistics and administration, helping us continue to meet the growing demand for our services while maintaining our dedication to innovation and quality.”
The expansion has been welcomed by Justice Minister and Meath East TD Helen McEntee, who praised MTM’s commitment to job creation and the economic development of the region:
"This is fantastic news for Slane and the wider Co Meath area. The creation of 200 new jobs by MTM is a testament to the strength of Irish businesses and their ability to compete on a global stage. MTM’s expansion is not only a boost for the local economy but also a reflection of the company’s world-class expertise as a specialist electrical contractor. I commend Brendan Mee and his team for their continued investment in the region, and I wish them further success in the years ahead."
Since its founding, MTM Engineering has evolved from a cable installation and termination company in Ireland to a leading global provider of the critical path delivery in power and communication services, now operating in 10 countries.
MTM Engineering has acquired Leo Larkin Electrical, CET Connect, ATSS Ventures and T.A Ronan over the past three years to expand their service offerings in adjacent sectors and new markets, with both CET Connect and T.A Ronan continuing to grow within their marketplace.
In 2022, MTM partnered with Waterland Private Equity Ireland to advance its global growth ambitions.
Laura Dillon, Partner at Waterland Private Equity Ireland, said: “MTM Engineering is a reflection of its leadership in the data centre sector. The company has shown remarkable growth in international markets, and we are thrilled to support this next phase of development.
"The creation of 200 jobs will provide a substantial boost to the local economy and reinforces Ireland’s reputation as a hub for cutting-edge infrastructure services. We look forward to continuing to work with Brendan and the MTM team as they continue to build into the future."
