Are you thinking of making a change in the New Year? Maybe you’re home for Christmas to see friends and family, giving you time to consider your options. With the strength of the economy and the strong (and growing) engineering sector that now exists in the country, coming back to Ireland could be the right decision to make.
At SL Controls, we have a range of job opportunities available for Irish engineers living abroad who would like to move back to Ireland to build their careers, be closer to family, and achieve a better quality of life.
That’s exactly what one of our employees did last year. Vinnie Boyd was working in Australia but saw the opportunities available in Ireland when he was home for Christmas. He returned to Australia but a few months later he was back in Ireland working in a new job at SL Controls. Read Vinnie’s story.
Opportunities Across the Country
Engineers Ireland believes 6,000 new engineering jobs will be created in Ireland in 2019. Those jobs will be available in just about every county and region.
