Praised for outstanding achievement across people development and consultancy excellence last year, ORS secured two prestigious accolades at the Engineering Excellence Awards 2025, winning both the Graduate Training Programme of the Year for its Shape Your Future initiative and the Engineering Consultancy of the Year.

The Shape Your Future Graduate Programme earned its accolade through a structured, innovative approach to onboarding that aligned individual development with measurable organisational outcomes. By integrating graduates effectively from the outset, ORS demonstrated how thoughtful talent investment can generate concrete business impact whilst building a stronger, more capable engineering workforce.

"Our judges were amazed by this winner's innovative graduate onboarding programme, which clearly supported both company goals and individual development. The structured process ensured graduates were effectively integrated, contributing to measurable impact across the organisation. This programme exemplified thoughtful, high-impact talent development in action," the judging panel said.

ORS also earned the Engineering Consultancy of the Year title, with judges pointing to its impressive growth trajectory, diverse project portfolio, and use of cutting-edge technologies.

"This entrant stood out for its impressive growth and innovative approach to delivering client solutions. Their diverse project portfolio and use of cutting-edge technologies highlighted operational excellence and forward-thinking strategies. Strong client feedback and measurable outcomes underscored their influence and leadership in the consultancy sector," the panel added.

Both wins position ORS as one of the most well-rounded firms in Ireland's engineering consultancy landscape, strong in both strategic growth and the talent infrastructure that sustains it. Their performance reflects the rising standards the Engineering Excellence Awards demands from its winners.
