Wicklow-founded Fortivum Consulting has officially opened a new office in Tallaght, Dublin, just 18 months after its establishment, marking a major milestone in the company’s rapid growth and international expansion.

Founded in 2023 by CEO Robert Tobin and Chairperson Kilian McGreal, both from Blessington, Fortivum specialises in client-side services for hyperscale data centres, offering expertise in design, project management, cost management, and procurement. The firm partners with global clients to deliver technically demanding infrastructure projects across Europe and beyond.

In just a year and a half, Fortivum has scaled from a small founding team to a 50-strong workforce, delivering complex projects in seven countries to date. The new Tallaght office complements its Blessington base and will serve as a strategic hub for international operations.

The opening ceremony, attended by employees, clients, and Minister for Enterprise, Trade and Employment Peter Burke, highlighted Fortivum’s growing role in Ireland’s thriving data centre and engineering ecosystem. Over the next 18 months, the firm plans to create an additional 50 highly skilled jobs, reinforcing Ireland as a key foundation for its global growth.

Enterprise Ireland is set to support Fortivum’s international expansion strategy, with plans to establish offices in the UK and USA by 2026.

Fortivum is also focused on local talent development, partnering with Technological University Dublin – Tallaght Campus to create pathways for engineering and project management graduates to join the company.

“This isn’t just about opening a new office, it’s about building something bigger. We’re creating opportunities for people to build exciting, global careers right here in Ireland,” CEO Robert Tobin said.
