IN2 Engineering Design Partnership, a leading Irish engineering firm, has been awarded the prestigious “CPD Accredited Employer” status by Engineers Ireland, marking a continuous commitment to professional development. This three-year accreditation, running from 2024 to 2027, will bring IN2 to a full 20 years as a CPD-accredited employer, having first achieved this status in 2007. This ongoing recognition underscores the company’s dedication to the growth and innovation of its engineering and technical staff through structured career support.
Professional Development and Mentoring
Since its establishment in 2002, IN2 has prioritized innovation and employee development, playing a key role in advancing Ireland’s construction and engineering sectors. A cornerstone of this effort is the Personal Development Plan (PDP), implemented in 2012, which aligns individual career goals with the company’s business objectives. This ensures that employees are not only aware of IN2’s strategic direction but also feel meaningfully involved in its success.
IN2 also fosters collaboration and growth through annual off-site gatherings, such as its upcoming Christmas event, where staff review achievements and discuss future plans. In addition, the company’s mentoring programme, further strengthened by the IN2 Academy, offers technical guidance and professional support for engineers at all stages of their careers.
IN2 Academy and Knowledge Sharing
The IN2 Academy, a key part of the company’s growth strategy, provides technical and soft skills training to engineers, with many senior leaders having started their careers as interns. The company also promotes knowledge sharing through systems like Netsuite and BambooHR, ensuring staff have access to CPD records and development plans. Regular seminars and technical presentations further enhance learning and collaboration across offices.
Innovation and Sustainability
IN2 leads in adopting cutting-edge technologies like Building Information Modelling (BIM) and advanced building simulation techniques, delivering energy-efficient solutions across various sectors. The company's expertise in energy simulation uniquely positions it to help clients meet Ireland’s Climate Action Plan goals.
Despite industry-wide talent shortages, IN2 continues to attract diverse talent, with 25 nationalities represented in its workforce. This diversity brings fresh perspectives, fosters creativity, and strengthens the company’s ability to solve complex challenges in innovative ways.
