CJK Golf Scramble 2026 ⛳️

Last week, we held our annual CJK Golf Scramble at Wicklow Golf Club, with teams enjoying a great day of golf, good weather and a bit of healthy competition. ☀️

A big thank you to everyone who took part and helped make the day such a success.

Congratulations to this year's winning team, and well done to everyone who got involved. 👏

We're proud to announce a new three-year partnership with Barnardos Ireland in support of the Wizards of Words literacy programme in Finglas.

Wizards of Words provides one-to-one reading support for children in local primary schools who would benefit from extra support in literacy at an early stage in their education.

Early intervention can make a lasting difference. When children fall behind in reading at a young age, the gap can become harder to close over time. By providing support when it can have the greatest impact, Wizards of Words helps children develop skills that will benefit them throughout their education and later in life.

As a company headquartered in Finglas, we're proud to support a programme that is making a tangible difference for children and families in our local community.

We look forward to working alongside Barnardos and supporting the important work they do.

Inside CJK Academy 🤩

A look inside our upgraded training space, where our apprentice electricians and plumbers develop the practical skills they will bring to site every day.

The facilities are designed to support hands on learning and help apprentices build confidence both on site and throughout their SOLAS training.

With the Leaving Cert now complete, apprenticeships are well worth considering as a career pathway, offering the opportunity to learn, earn and develop valuable skills. 🎓

Apprentice Graduation 2026 🎓

Recently, a group of CJK apprentices attended the National Apprenticeship Graduation Ceremony, officially marking the completion of their apprenticeships and their qualification as electricians, plumbers and pipefitters. 👏

This is a significant milestone and recognition of the hard work, commitment and determination they have shown throughout their apprenticeship journeys.

Through the CJK Academy, we provide hands on experience, expert mentorship and the opportunity to build a rewarding career.

Congratulations to all of the graduates! We are excited to see how they will continue to grow and contribute to our team. 🙌

Supporting the People Behind the Industry 👷

On Friday, members of the CJK team, including two of our apprentices, attended the Lighthouse Charity Ireland Summer Lunch 2026.

The event brings together people from across the construction industry to raise funds for the vital mental health and wellbeing services the Lighthouse Charity provides to construction workers and their families.

At CJK, People at the Heart is one of our core values, so it was great to support an organisation whose work makes a real difference to individuals and families across our industry. 🤝

A few colourful additions around CJK this month 🌈🍩

To mark Pride Month, we shared Pride themed doughnuts, posters and Pride lanyards as a simple way to recognise and celebrate the month.

Creating a workplace where people feel welcome, valued and respected is something that matters every day. Pride Month gives us another opportunity to show that support and celebrate the diversity of the people who make up our teams.

While this month shines a spotlight on these conversations, the values behind it are important all year round.

Happy Pride Month from everyone at CJK 🏳️‍🌈

One Step at a Time 🚴‍♂️

On Sunday, 14 of the CJK team recently took on the Wicklow 100, covering 100km through some of Wicklow’s toughest climbs and most scenic routes. A great achievement and no small challenge 👏

The theme of this year’s Men’s Health Week is ‘One Step at a Time: Progress, Not Perfection’, a reminder that looking after our health does not have to mean making huge changes overnight.

Whether it is getting out for a cycle, taking a walk, having a conversation, or making time for a check up, small steps can have a big impact over time.

Well done to everyone who took part in this year’s Wicklow 100 🚴

Today, we’re proud to announce the launch of the Powering Recovery: CJK Opportunity Fund in partnership with Coolmine Therapeutic Community - .tc

Since 2019, CJK and Coolmine have worked together to create real employment pathways for people in Dublin rebuilding their lives after addiction recovery. Over the years, we’ve seen firsthand how access to education, training and meaningful work can create lasting change, with Coolmine graduates progressing into fully qualified electricians and long-term careers within our industry.

Building on this partnership, the new Opportunity Fund will help remove the financial and practical barriers that can prevent people from taking their next step. Through education bursaries and support for Dublin participants in Coolmine’s Recovery Internship Programme, the fund is expected to support up to 70–80 individuals over the course of the partnership.

At CJK, we believe in building careers, not just jobs. Together with Coolmine, we’re committed to creating meaningful opportunities that have a lasting impact on individuals, families, and communities.

A huge thank you to everyone at CJK and Coolmine who helped bring this initiative to life 🙌

CJK Apprentice Away Trip 2026 🌊

Last week, our apprentices headed west for this year’s CJK apprentice trip, with two days of activities, good craic and a few challenges along the way.

The trip started with surf lessons in Lahinch. The weather may not have been ideal, but there were still some great waves and a few managed to catch them 🏄‍♂️

Thankfully the conditions improved for day two, making for a brilliant day of rock climbing and abseiling near Doolin in the sunshine.

The annual trip forms part of our Rewards & Recognition programme, recognising apprentices who have shown strong commitment throughout the year through their attitude, attendance, timekeeping and exam performance.

It’s an important part of the CJK Academy to recognise the effort that goes into the apprenticeship journey and giving the group a chance to step away from site together as a team.

Big thanks to Dane from for another well organised trip 👏
