The company has recently been announced as main contractor for the extension of Center Parcs Longford Forest having previously completed the Dunkettle Interchange Upgrade Scheme and Pfizer in Ringaskiddy over the past 18 months.
In June 2024, Sisk moved over 250 of its staff into its new Irish headquarters in Citywest, Dublin.
Paul Brown, CEO, Sisk said: “Our roots are firmly in Cork and the move to Mahon is an investment in our people and a vote of confidence for the wider Munster region. This move will enable us to support and attract future local talent into the construction sector. Our new office also compliments our new HQ retrofit in Dublin.

He added: “Additionally, it is a wider commitment by us to be best prepared to support the Government’s recent update to the National Development Plan (NDP) – a bold vision that ramps up public capital investment to an historic €275.4 billion from 2026 to 2035. Off the back of our successful completion of Dunkettle Interchange, we are positioned to support one of the most ambitious infrastructure programmes in our nation’s history – and one that we support and are ready to engage upon.”

Michael McGrath, EU Commissioner said: “Construction employs millions of people across Europe and contributes around 10% of our gross value added. With over 165 years of experience and a strong commitment to quality, innovation, safety, and sustainability, Sisk has delivered many vital building projects across Ireland, the UK and throughout Europe. In doing so, it provides valued employment and contributes to economic growth and urban renewal wherever it works. Construction is never just about bricks and mortar – it’s about people, communities, and creating opportunities for future generations. Given that it all started for Sisk in Cork in 1859, I am delighted to open Sisk’s new Cork office – a testament to the company’s continued close connection with and commitment to Cork and the wider region. I wish the whole team at Sisk continued success.”
