Control and Information Management (CIM) Ltd. was founded in 2003 by Darrin McCrudden and Eamonn Nally through a management buyout from Siemens Ireland. We still embrace and hold true to the principles of good engineering, quality and reliability associated with German engineering.
We are a young, vibrant company that has steadily grown in size, operation and client base since conception. We have a flat organisational structure, a mature and technical leadership and a committed and expert workforce.
CIM is predominately a staff-based company but also have a network of proven and reliable contractors who support us as required. We have adopted a strategy to keep expertise, experience and the knowledge of our client systems in-house so as to ensure we can provide informed solutions and services. We also believe that investing in and retaining key staff is critical to success. Our senior engineers are formally trained in project management and are equipped to perform engineering or management roles according to requirements.
