The new roles were announced at an event in which Enterprise Ireland also discussed the 2025 export results and the wider landscape.
Irish electrical engineering company BMC Manufacturing has announced the creation of 500 new jobs to be filled between now and 2028, as part of a major expansion plan. The roles, which are supported by Enterprise Ireland, will be across a range of functions, including engineering, technology and operations.
The organisation, which was established in Meath, in 1991, develops and delivers innovations in the low voltage switchgear and critical power solutions spaces.
Colm Sheridan, BMC Manufacturing’s CEO and CFO, told SiliconRepublic.com that the roles will be divided primarily between the company’s Dublin and Meath-based locations in Damastown, Ballycoolin, Kells and Ashbourne, noting the importance of being able to pull from a strong, regional talent pool.
He said, “The jobs are across all areas of the business, particularly hands-on manufacturing, which would involve electricians, mechanical and electrical engineers, apprentices, QA, QC, IT and all the admin departments, finance, HR procurement. This is to satisfy our anticipated growth over the next two years.”
