Irish engineering group DECI is opening its first U.S. office in Chicago, creating 250 new positions as part of a broader international expansion. The move will enhance the firm's ability to deliver commissioning, testing and project‑management services across life sciences, energy and data‑centre projects in North America.
DECI - an Irish engineering firm renowned for its expertise in commissioning, testing, project management and quality tracking documentation in the life sciences and energy sectors - has announced a substantial expansion into the United States, opening a new Chicago office that will create 250 jobs.
The new facility will become DECI's first office in America, building on the company's existing headquarters in Limerick and Kildare and its other European sites in Germany, Sweden, Denmark, Switzerland, Norway, India and Saudi Arabia.
"Expanding our North American presence with the opening of our Chicago office is a defining moment for DECI in the US," stated Colm Phelan, managing director. The new office positions the company closer to its U.S. clients, suppliers and the broader construction community, bolstering DECI's capacity to deliver rigorous CxA commissioning and testing for mission‑critical projects exactly where its customers need them.
DECI is already active in the U.S. market, having delivered specialist commissioning and testing services for several large data‑centre projects nationwide. The company anticipates that the demand for these services will rise as data‑centre projects grow more complex, especially with the surge in AI and other digital services that are fueling capital investment across the continent.
The Chicago expansion not only serves the burgeoning data‑centre market but also aligns with DECI's growth strategy in high‑growth sectors such as life sciences, energy generation and industrial infrastructure. Founded in 1994, DECI has built a strong reputation for delivering end‑to‑end project support, from initial testing and commissioning to ongoing quality and performance documentation. With the new office, the company will bring its experienced engineers and project managers closer to U.S. stakeholders, enabling tighter collaboration and faster delivery timelines.
The addition of 250 positions underscores DECI's commitment to investing in its workforce and its confidence in the long‑term viability of the U.S. market. Beyond the benefits for DECI's clients, the expansion is poised to have a wider economic impact. The new office is expected to generate local employment opportunities and contribute to the technological infrastructure of the region.
It also positions DECI as a critical partner for U.S. companies looking to meet stringent commissioning and testing standards in an increasingly regulated environment. Overall, the Chicago office marks a significant milestone in DECI's journey toward becoming a global leader in commissioning and testing services for complex, mission‑critical projects
