A leading multidisciplinary consulting engineering company has completed the acquisition of well-established Galway consulting engineering business.

The acquisition of James Roche Consulting Engineers – a venerable institution in Galway since the late 1970s – represents a significant addition to the OMC Group’s portfolio.

This strategic integration leverages synergies to enhance service offerings and solidify OMC’s position as a leader in the consulting engineering sector.

Looking ahead, OMC said it remained dedicated to its growth trajectory, with plans to complete two additional acquisitions in 2024.

Additionally, the company’s expansion efforts are expected to create 20 new jobs nationally.

Founded in 2012 as Enda O’Malley and Associates, the company rebranded to OMC in 2023, signifying its evolution and dedication to excellence and innovation in professional consulting engineering services.

OMC completed its first acquisition in late 2022 with the incorporation of O’Halloran Engineering, a pivotal milestone that laid the groundwork for future growth initiatives.

With an in-house team of 18, OMC’s core business encompasses a diverse range of residential and commercial projects, delivering services in planning consultancy, environmental consultancy, structural design, building surveying, land mapping, assigned certification, fire and disability consultancy, mechanical and electrical consultancy, energy consultancy, and health and safety consultancy.

OMC have offices in Clifden, Galway City and Dublin and oversee projects throughout Ireland.

“We are delighted to welcome James Roche BE and his staff to the OMC Group,” said Enda O’Malley, Founder and CEO of OMC.

“James Roche Consulting Engineers has been a well-respected and long established consulting engineers practice within Galway since the late 1970s and his reputation and network will enhance OMC’s service offering throughout Galway,” he added.
