The company received the accreditation following an audit of its lifelong learning practices for engineering professionals and was presented with the award by Tánaiste Mary Coughlan, Minister for Enterprise, Trade and Employment.
Presenting the award, the Tánaiste said: "Engineering is a fundamental part of sustaining Ireland's economic success and this is underpinned by a skilled and proficient supply of engineers."
"The CPD process facilitates this by encouraging engineering firms to develop their staff for mutual benefit so I am delighted to present the award to the 100th company on behalf of Engineers Ireland," she added.

Engineers Ireland Director General and Chartered Engineer, John Power said: "CPD Accreditation is a strategy for success in organisations. It indicates that engineering professionals in a company are constantly re-skilling themselves."
"This ensures the public can be certain that Ireland's engineers are implementing modern safe techniques and have the expertise to safeguard public interest," added Mr Power.
John SISK & Son's Managing Director, Tom Costello, said: "To be granted Engineers Ireland CPD Accredited status is very rewarding, coming as it does, on the eve of our 150th anniversary in business, in 2009. CPD is a key part of our business architecture."
Mr Costello added: "Our employees have fully embraced the mentoring programme and the feedback regarding the 'Lessons Learned' seminars at the end of major projects has been excellent."
Engineers Ireland's CPD Accreditation scheme is co-funded by the Department of Enterprise, Trade and Employment under the National Training Plan.
