Living in Kilkenny

A vibrant riverside town packed with amenities and close nature

We’re based in the heart of Kilkenny City – one of Ireland’s most vibrant and thriving hotspots.

Kilkenny offers a little bit of everything to everyone. The city is rich in history, with plenty of amazing landmarks that are just a stone’s throw from the Lawler Group headquarters – including the famous Kilkenny Castle, dating all the way back to the 12th century.

For the more cosmopolitan lifestyle, Kilkenny offers a lot for those who cannot sit still for long. The city hosts numerous festivals each year, has a number of popular night venues, and has enough quality eateries, hotels, and restaurants to be a foodie’s dream.

The Lawler Way

We don’t subscribe to the phrase ‘Work Hard, Play Hard’, because we know there’s a better way of working; the Lawler Way – ‘Work Smart, Play Better’.

Traditional ways of working only lead to burnout and poor wellbeing.  As designers of future-fit workplaces, the wellness of our people is critical to our organisation.

The Lawler Way is about allowing our people to have a meaningful working day, where innovation and collaboration lead the way, and where wellbeing takes centre stage.

Sustainability Engineer

I started my career with Lawler Group after Graduating from WIT with a Bachelor of Honors in sustainable energy engineering. I like the team environment and the constant learning involved throughout the graduate programme. Everyone is friendly and always willing to help which is great. I feel that I am valued as a member by others and I am grateful that my development is also valued by the organisation.  There has yet to be something that I dislike about working for this organisation.
