Stantec acquires Ryan Hanley consultancy located in Ireland

Stantec (STN) has acquired Ryan Hanley, a 150-person engineering and environmental consultancy with locations across Ireland. Ryan Hanley will bring its extensive local knowledge, relationships, and technical expertise to Stantec, particularly around the Irish water sector. The firm delivers a broad range of services, creating solutions for local authorities, government departments, private clients, utility companies, and other influential organizations. The acquisition is an important part of Stantec’s goal of expanding its presence in Ireland. Ryan Hanley has been a local partner for Stantec as part of a successful joint venture since 2020. The JV has supported Ireland’s water company, Uisce Eireann, or UE, in its Engineering Design Services Framework helping deliver a EUR 3.5B investment in asset delivery across UE’s portfolios. The JV was appointed to UE’s Capital Works PMO Services Framework in 2023. Stantec and Ryan Hanley currently share an office space in Dublin’s city centre, which was opened formally by Ireland’s former Taoiseach, Simon Harris, in 2024.
