Egis Group makes senior changes to drive further growth
Joanne Moran and Marcus Fagan, new roles with multi-disciplinary consultancy, engineering and operations firm Egis.
Architectural and construction engineering firm Egis has appointed Joanne Moran as regional service line director for water, environment and energy transition, and Marcus Fagan as senior director for water.
The multi-disciplinary consultancy, engineering and operations firm is changing its leadership team following the retirement of Anne-Marie Conibear, director for energy and sustainable cities with Egis in Ireland.
Egis is part of the French-headquartered Egis Group, whose projects and plant upgrades include the Ringsend Wastewater Treatment upgrade in Dublin and the upgrade of the Lee Road Water Treatment Plant in Cork.
Egis’ expertise in water engineering was strengthened by its 2023 acquisition of JB Barry & Partners, an engineering firm. Egis is currently investing in and growing its local water team and leadership in the UK.
Steve Preece, CEO of Egis in Ireland, said: “Joanne will bring a wealth of experience and expertise to her new role. Her appointment reaffirms Egis’ commitment to delivering innovative solutions in the water, environment and energy transition sectors both in Ireland and in the UK. As a global leader in infrastructure, Egis is well-positioned to leverage shared competencies to benefit clients across both markets.
“Marcus is a leading member of Egis’ water division with extensive experience in delivering major water projects. Egis has had major successes in supporting governments in both Ireland and the UK to deliver water and wastewater infrastructure and we are confident this will continue given the pressing need for greater investment in what is a crucially important sector.”
Joanne Moran has over 25 years’ experience across the energy, water and environment sectors, in Ireland and the UK, providing strategic leadership in project delivery and business growth.
She has previously worked with Jacobs and SKM Enviros and has been involved in major projects such as EirGrid’s Dublin Reinforcement Programme, Slieve Kirk Overhead Grid Connection, Wylfa Power Station and numerous onshore windfarms across Ireland and the UK.
A graduate of the University of Glasgow, she joined Egis in November 2024. She hails from Ayrshire in Scotland and is based in Bangor in Co Down.
She will lead the firm’s business in Ireland and the UK across water, environmental services and energy transition, including transmission and distribution, renewables and nuclear. Moran will work closely with her colleague, Francois-Xavier Basselot, Egis’s MD for energy and sustainable cities in Europe and Africa.
Marcus Fagan will lead teams in Ireland and the UK in Egis’ Water division, leveraging extensive experience in both countries.
He joined JB Barry & Partners in 2014 and was at the company when it was acquired by Egis in 2023. He has extensive experience in the design, procurement and delivery of large infrastructure projects including water and wastewater treatment plants and pumping stations having worked on major projects such as the €500m expansion and upgrade of Ireland’s largest wastewater treatment plant at Ringsend in Dublin.
A graduate of TU Dublin, Fagan is a chartered engineer with over 29 years’ experience, the majority of which of which has been in the wastewater industry. He is a fellow of Engineers Ireland and of the Association of Consulting Engineers of Ireland and is a certified energy manager.
