Ireland-based H&MV\u00a0Engineering planted\u00a0its North American\u00a0headquarters in\u00a0Dallas. The move is\u00a0part of a push to\u00a0create 1,000 new U.S.\u00a0jobs and reach $3.5\u00a0billion in revenue\u00a0over the next five\u00a0years.<\/p>\n

H&MV designs and builds high-voltage substations and grid connections for the tech, energy and utility industries. The engineering firm said it benefits from rising demand for infrastructure supporting AI, data centers, electric grids, battery storage and utilities.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhat I like about Dallas is how quickly it has gone from being a new location for us to becoming central to the U.S. business,\u201d PJ Flanagan, CEO of H&MV, told Dallas Innovates.<\/p>\n

Texas and Louisiana are the firm\u2019s most active markets, he said.<\/p>\n

Putting down roots in Dallas<\/p>\n

H&MV\u2019s North American headquarters just opened at 3131 McKinney Ave. The move follows the firm\u2019s acquisition earlier this year of Amarillo-based Cooke Power Services. Cooke provides high-voltage electrical services.<\/p>\n

H&MV employees moved into the McKinney Avenue space earlier this month, Flanagan said. Dallas already was the firm\u2019s U.S. headquarters<\/a>, but H&MV recently extended the reach to all of North America.<\/p>\n

Dallas stood out when the company weighed locations for the North American headquarters, Flanagan said.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cThe more time I spent here, the clearer it became that Dallas was where we should build from,\u201d Flanagan told Dallas Innovates.<\/p>\n

Flanagan said the Dallas operation gives H&MV proximity to data center, power grid and power transmission projects in Texas. He said more than $7 billion in high-voltage projects is expected in DFW and along the I-35 corridor in the coming years.<\/p>\n

H&MV launched the Dallas office late last year \u201cas our U.S. business was starting to move quickly,\u201d Flanagan said. \u201cSince then, we have added Cooke, built out the team and now have multiple projects in design and construction across the country.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cWhat excites me is the chance to build a strong team here and give people room to grow with us,\u201d said Flanagan, who began his H&MV career as an apprentice.<\/p>\n

A growing headcount<\/p>\n

Globally, H&MV employs about 1,900 people.<\/p>\n

Almost 100 people currently work in the Dallas office, including Cooke employees retained by H&MV. Flanagan said adding 1,000 jobs in the U.S., particularly Dallas, will boost the firm\u2019s engineering, construction and project delivery capabilities. H&MV will tap into DFW\u2019s deep pool of construction management workers to fill some of the new roles, he said.<\/p>\n

In Dallas, Flanagan said, \u201cyou can recruit here, reach customers quickly and run a fast-growing regional business.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cThe region is attracting huge data center and technology investments, but all of that depends on power,\u201d Flanagan said. \u201cThe high-voltage system has to expand with the economy.\u201d<\/p>\n

Funding fuels growth<\/p>\n

H&MV\u2019s growth in Dallas comes amid big gains in revenue. In 2020, the firm recorded annual revenue of $70 million. Today, annual revenue exceeds $1.1 billion, and the company said it aims to reach $3.5 billion in five years.<\/p>\n

That growth has been fueled in part by\u00a0a hefty funding round. In August, H&MV said it raised nearly $865 million from investors Exponent, Apollo S3, Pantheon and SQ Capital. As a result, the firm\u2019s valuation climbed to $1.6 billion.<\/p>\n

Today, H&MV boasts $2.3 billion in booked orders and a project pipeline totaling $18.6 billion, the company said.<\/p>\n

After seven years in Houston, the Pepsi National Battle of the Bands showcase is relocating to Arlington\u2019s AT&T Stadium.
