Lowflo plans to add almost 150 jobs by 2030, growing its workforce to 200 across Ireland and its international markets. The Dublin-based water management and leak detection company currently employs 54 people, and the expansion will roughly quadruple headcount inside four years.

Lowflo is headquartered in Tallaght, Dublin, and has been trading for 20 years, providing specialist water loss reduction, network efficiency and infrastructure resilience services. It works with utilities and industrial clients across healthcare, pharmaceutical manufacturing, commercial development and data centres, sectors where water use is under increasing scrutiny.

The structural driver is rising non-revenue water loss across ageing utility networks, which is pushing water-intensive sectors such as pharmaceutical manufacturing and data centres to invest directly in leak detection and network monitoring rather than relying on utility-led fixes alone. New roles will span specialist water services, engineering, technology, operations and business support.

The announcement coincided with Lowflo officially opening a new headquarters, which the company said will underpin its expansion into new markets and services over the coming years.

Chief executive Charles Dwyer said the new base "gives us the platform to accelerate our growth, expand our capabilities, develop new services and create high-quality jobs as we enter the next chapter for Lowflo." He added that rising water demand and continued network leakage meant the company wanted to "invest in our people, technology and expertise" to keep helping customers "build stronger, more resilient water networks."

Lowflo's expansion plan comes as it marks two decades in business, having grown from a small Cork-founded leak detection operation into a company serving both domestic and international water utilities and industrial clients.

For the sector, Lowflo's growth shows demand for specialist water-loss and network resilience services scaling well beyond utilities themselves, as industrial water users treat leak detection as core infrastructure rather than an occasional maintenance task.
