Lumen Search has been announced as Gold Sponsor of the Fit Out Awards 2026, bringing specialist built environment recruitment expertise to Ireland's premier recognition programme for excellence across the fit out sector.

A recruitment agency focused exclusively on the built environment across all stages of a project's lifecycle, Lumen Search works to harmonise the recruitment process between professionals seeking their next opportunity and organisations looking to hire the right people.

With expertise spanning BIM, Architecture and Engineering, Design Management, Fire Safety, HSEQ, Sustainability, and Cost and Project Management, the agency operates across the full spectrum of disciplines that underpin how commercial fit out, office design, and interior architecture projects are planned, managed, and delivered in Ireland.

In a fit out industry where the quality of a project ultimately depends on the quality of the people behind it, Lumen Search's role in connecting talent with opportunity across Ireland's built environment positions it as a natural and purposeful supporter of a programme dedicated to recognising the sector's best.
