Jones Engineering has been officially re-accredited as a CPD Accredited Employer by Engineers Ireland following a comprehensive audit conducted in  February 2025. The accreditation, awarded for a period of three years, recognises the organisation’s exemplary commitment to Continuing Professional Development (CPD) as a cornerstone of its growth strategy and talent development.

This coveted accreditation confirms that Jones Engineering continues to meet and exceed all criteria outlined by Engineers Ireland, scoring highly across all seven CPD standards. The company was recognised as operating at the Advanced CPD level.

Stephen McCabe, Chief Executive Officer at Jones Engineering, remarked: “This recognition reflects the deep investment Jones Engineering continues to make in our people, processes, and culture. Engineering is a fast-moving, global profession and we are proud that our CPD programmes not only support our engineers to meet the challenges of today but actively prepare them for the future of the industry. At Jones, CPD is not an obligation, it is embedded in our culture, it is who we are.”

Highlights of the audit included praise for:

• The development of a company-wide CPD strategy, rooted in a renewed People Plan focused on recruitment, development, and international leadership.
• Strong alignment between individual development goals and company strategy via the Open Blend performance system.
• A robust competence framework and career progression path for engineers, underpinned by mentorship and knowledge-sharing across all levels.
• Industry-leading work in quality management, innovation, and knowledge capture, particularly through initiatives such as “The Jones Method,” Front-End Loading, and the Group Quality Library.
• Engagement in over 24 university outreach events annually, support for women in engineering initiatives, and partnerships such as the TU Dublin Jones Engineering Awards.
  

Engineers Ireland described Jones Engineering as “a very well-honed learning organisation” and noted the company’s “cutting-edge innovation and knowledge management” as key strengths. 

Damien Owens, Director General of Engineers Ireland, commented: “Jones Engineering’s dedication to continuing professional development; supporting the growth of its people’s knowledge and expertise, ensures that it stands amongst the best engineering firms in Ireland.”

Jones Engineering continues to lead the way in delivering technical excellence through its people. This CPD recognition marks another step forward in sustaining that leadership and building a dynamic, agile engineering workforce ready for global opportunities.
