Mercury Engineering to create 1,000 jobs in five years

Irish construction firm Mercury Engineering is preparing to create 1,000 new roles over the next five years. Standing as one of Europe's largest data center builders, the company operates in 16 markets, including data center hotspots such as France, Ireland, and the Nordics. Mercury currently employs more than 2,500 people and, according to its latest accounts, had close to €1.6 billion ($1.66bn) in revenues last year and a pre-tax profit of €81.53 million ($84.74m).

“Our aim is to attract the best talent, ensure seamless onboarding, and integrate them into our winning culture,” said Mercury’s chief executive, Eoin Vaughan, in a company announcement. “Mercury understands that our people are crucial to our growth, and we will continue to invest in their skills and development."

The company has had an active 2024, delivering three data centers, two in Frankfurt and one in Paris. In addition, earlier this year, Mercury delivered a 19MW PAR9 data center to Digital Realty in Paris.
