Time is right to engineer brighter career prospects

9th February 2015

In today’s Engineering Focus, nijobfinder highlights some of the job opportunities which are available within the engineering sector.

With an estimated 37,000 people in Northern Ireland currently employed in manufacturing across 2,800 establishments, it is believed that approximately 500 more people per year will need to be recruited into the sector in Northern Ireland over the next five years to meet growing demand and to account for retirements. Identified as a priority sector for the economy, and undergoing a period of transformation, this exciting sector could offer a fulfilling and challenging career opportunity.

SUCCESS IS IN THE AIR

AirEnergy is recruiting for a senior service engineer to join its skilled team. Specialising in compressed air sales and maintenance, the company provides reliable and efficient compressors and filtration for a wide range of companies across the island of Ireland.

AirEnergy is authorised distributers for worldwide brand CompAir, as well as the American brand (EC Rated) Sullivan Palatek.

GLOBAL FORCE EXPANDS

CDE Global has created more than 50 high value manufacturing jobs in Northern Ireland in the last two years. The firm has hopes to create a further 20 new jobs over the next 12 months, including the positions advertised in today’s nijobfinder.

While the majority of these jobs will be based in Northern Ireland, the company is also recruiting internationally as it builds regional teams in target export markets.
