Donegal County Council has won an open competition with other local authorities which could see 30 new jobs coming to the county.
The council will initially employ between 4 and 5 engineers on the project but it is hoped up to 30 posts will be created within two years if it fulfills its full potential.
The road engineering services will provide road services cover for other local authorities across the country.
County Manager Seamus Neely said is hopeful the project can deliver and bring much-needed jobs to the county.
