Dublin Aerospace Expands Workforce

New jobs are flying into Dublin soon with news that the aircraft maintenance company, Dublin Aerospace, is to recruit for 150 new jobs at Dublin Airport over the next two years.

Taoiseach Enda Kenny opened the company's new €4.5m landing gear centre at the airport this morning and welcomed the news, noting that the firm was set up two years ago when SR Technics pulled out of Dublin Airport with the loss of over 1,000 jobs.

Former Ryanair executive Conor McCarthy saw a gap for an Irish start-up and took on some staff and equipment from SR Technics.

As a result, the company has been expanding rapidly since then landing contracts with Aer Lingus and Easyjet and it is now looking for skilled technicians and labourers with 45 positions available immediately.

The new jobs will bring its workforce to 300 within two years.
