Suir Engineering has announced the creation of 200 apprenticeship positions alongside the launch of a groundbreaking Apprentice Centre of Excellence, designed to complement the state’s SOLAS training programmes. These apprenticeships, focused on electrical and electrical instrumentation roles, promise permanent positions within the company upon completion.
Set to be rolled out over the next 12 months, this initiative will expand Suir Engineering’s workforce to 1,600 employees. The new roles provide opportunities for apprentices to work in Ireland or at Suir Engineering’s international hubs in the UK, Germany, Sweden, and Denmark. This expansion aligns with the company’s European growth strategy and addresses the sector-wide demand for skilled and highly trained professionals.
Brendan Moley, Chief Operating Officer, emphasized the importance of the initiative as part of Suir Engineering’s talent pipeline. “As we grow our European footprint, the need to develop our highly skilled workforce grows too,” Moley remarked.
The announcement highlights Suir Engineering’s commitment to nurturing talent and reinforcing its reputation as a leader in the engineering sector both in Ireland and abroad.
