H&MV Engineering’s Bold Move: Why 1,000 New U.S. Jobs Could Flip the Entire Industry On Its Head
Ever wonder what it takes for an Irish engineering powerhouse to make a jaw-dropping leap across the Atlantic and spark a job boom of 1,000 positions in the US over just five years? Well, H&MV Engineering isn’t just dreaming—it’s setting the stage with their brand-new North American HQ right in the heart of Dallas, Texas. This move isn’t your typical office opening; it’s a full-throttle expansion aimed at supercharging America’s power infrastructure amid a surge in demand that stretches well beyond just AI and data centers. From high-voltage substations to grid connections, these folks are weaving the backbone for tomorrow’s energy landscape, tapping into hot markets like Texas and Louisiana. Sure, it’s about engineering and construction jobs, but it’s also about powering up a smarter, greener grid that fuels tech giants and energy developers alike. And guess what? This is only the start—H&MV’s kicking off a major growth spurt as they ride a wave of international success and eyeing €3 billion in revenues down the road. The question is, can anyone else keep up with this kind of charge?

Irish engineering company H&MV Engineering is planning to create 1,000 jobs in the US over the next five years as it expands its operations to meet growing demand for power infrastructure.
The high-voltage engineering specialist has established its North American headquarters in Dallas, Texas, which will support its engineering and project delivery operations across the US.
H&MV currently has several projects in design and construction across the country, ranging from 138kV to 345kV, with Texas and Louisiana its most active markets.
The company designs and builds high-voltage substations and grid connections for technology companies, utilities and energy developers. The planned jobs will span engineering, construction and project delivery roles.
The expansion follows H&MV’s acquisition of Texas-based Cooke Power Services earlier this year and builds on its existing presence in Dallas.
P.J. Flanagan, CEO of H&MV Engineering, said the US market was being driven by investment beyond the artificial intelligence and data centre sectors.
“AI and data center growth is putting huge focus on the need for power infrastructure, but the opportunity is much broader,” he said.
“Across the U.S., investment in the grid, renewables and battery storage is driving demand for new high-voltage infrastructure. That is exactly where H&MV specializes, and why we see the U.S. as a major part of our next phase of growth.”
Ken Gilmartin, Executive Vice President, US, said Dallas would provide the company with access to major growth markets and engineering and construction talent.
H&MV’s US expansion comes as the company has grown rapidly internationally, with revenues increasing from €61m in 2020 to more than €1bn today.
The company was recently valued at approximately €1.4bn following a new investment transaction designed to support its international expansion.

It currently has more than 24GW of projects in design and construction globally, alongside a €2bn order book and €16bn pipeline.
H&MV is targeting annual revenues of €3bn within five years.
