In today’s Nijobfinder, the US-based outsourcing company, Stream, is recruiting for a number of permanent, full time positions.
The campaign follows the creation of its new Belfast contact centre which already employs several hundred people but there are still some 400 posts to fill.
It is expected the project will create almost 1,000 jobs and will deliver £14m annually in additional salaries. Speaking at the official opening of the Airport Road West facility last week, Stream CEO Kathy Marinello said: “Our new Loughview facility is a showcase location for Stream globally.
It is a beautiful facility in an amazing location with advanced technology behind the scenes to help provide the stability and reliability that our clients expect.”
A new £7m research centre that will pioneer advances in sustainable energy technologies will create 15 new posts.
The Centre for Advanced Sustainable Energy (CASE) will focus on developing highly innovative technologies for the sustainable energy sector.
The centre will be industryled, hosted at Queen’s University, and will draw on the research capabilities of University of Ulster and Agri-Food Biosciences Institute.
The centre has been offered £5m from Invest NI, supporting industry-led research in a key sector for the economy.
