PJ Ryan

PJ will support the development of policy and associated services for the CIF’s membership to enable them to address the critical pillars of ESG and corporate sustainability obligations and develop their business strategies, plans and actions. PJ has worked in a sustainability role since 2008, mainly in the M&E sector as a consulting engineer, where he has managed teams responsible for sustainability modelling, compliance with building energy regulations and third-party rating schemes such as LEED, BREEAM & WELL. Before this, he worked with Bechtel and the DAA on embedding the DAA’s mandatory sustainable requirements in the capital infrastructure projects for Dublin Airport, and in helping to map out their route to 2030 and net zero. He is a Chartered Engineer with the Chartered Institute of Building Services Engineers (CEng MCIBSE) and a Registered Consulting Engineer (RConsEI) with the Association of Consulting Engineers Ireland (ACEI). In 2021, as convenor of the ACEI Sustainability Committee, he launched the Pledge to Net Zero campaign to get Consulting Engineering firms to practice what they preach concerning science-based reductions with 50% absolute reductions by 2030. PJ is passionate about reducing the current climate emergency’s worst effects and believes everyone can play their part.
