Some of the biggest companies in the world call Ireland their home, and these ones are all hiring in manufacturing right now.
Things such as globalisation, growth of emerging markets and new technologies have all totally transformed the manufacturing industry in the last 20 years. Amid the upheaval, Ireland has managed to establish itself as a top location for global companies to set up operations.
According to one of the latest reports by Investec Manufacturing PMI, Ireland’s manufacturing sector grew in June, driven by higher demand. Evidently, the industry in Ireland is looking healthy, so what better time to look into manufacturing as a potential career?
If this sounds like something you want to get involved in, these companies are all hiring right now.
