capSpire is a global consulting and solutions company that creates, customizes, and implements meaningful technology for commodity-focused organizations. Since 2013, capSpire has been recognized on the prestigious Inc. 5000 list of America’s fastest-growing private companies. It is with this foundation and this same energy level that we expand our European team as well.

At capSpire, we provide our clients with deep business and system expertise to simplify and streamline their commodity-management functions for crude, natural gas, power, refined products, natural gas liquids (NGLs), coal, iron ore, agriculture, and freight. We take pride in our ability to create pragmatic and easy relationships with our clients that produce elegant solutions to hard problems.

So how do we do it?

We treat every day and every encounter as a fresh opportunity to learn, discover, and improve. We believe that true, sustainable success is best achieved by a tenacious, incessant desire for meaningful enhancements to both products and processes. By unearthing a better way, we offer our clients the freedom to grow and flourish in their own fields.

Hiring the brightest, most agile minds available is another key piece to capSpire’s success. We are a collection of passionate thought leaders who work side by side in a team-oriented environment to collaborate and create smart, clean solutions for our clients. We seek self-driven, motivated individuals who possess an innovator’s mentality and a deep-seated drive to find a better way.

In turn, we empower and enable our consultants to achieve their career goals, often in a faster timeframe than our competitors offer. Our culture isn’t about paying your dues and waiting a certain number of years for advancement—we train well to set each person up for success and we reward performance. We provide consultants with opportunities to work in areas that interest them, we ensure full exposure to different aspects of projects to enhance learning and career growth, and we coach and mentor our consultants to assume leadership roles.

As a result of our continued expansion in Ireland and the UK, we are growing our team. At this time, we are hiring Technical Software Consultants.
