Mercury welcomes 51 new graduates to 2025–27 programme

Mercury Engineering has formally launched its 2025–27 Graduate Programme, integrating 51 new professionals, signalling a strategic commitment to talent development and succession planning within the competitive pan-European construction sector. This initiative underscores Mercury's established position as an employer of choice, with the programme having successfully cultivated 426 graduates since its inception in 2009; many now occupy senior leadership roles across the company's extensive European operations. The current cohort is notably diverse, encompassing nine nationalities—including Brazilian, Indian, and Zimbabwean—and a significant representation of 14 women. This reflects a deliberate strategy to foster varied perspectives and robust talent pipelines essential for innovation. Academically, SETU Waterford notably contributed ten graduates. A crucial strategic allocation sees 40 graduates joining the Data Centres business unit, reinforcing Mercury's market leadership and human capital investment in this rapidly expanding, high-value infrastructure segment. Further placements span Group Services and Advanced Technology & Engineering, with geographical deployment across Ireland, England, Germany, Austria, the Netherlands, and Finland. This systematic investment in a multidisciplinary, internationally mobile workforce is vital for sustaining Mercury's high-performance culture and future competitive advantage in complex engineering and construction markets amid strong sector growth.
