While announcing a recruitment drive for ESB International, Managing director Ollie Brogan said: “There is massive investment in energy infrastructure across all of our key markets and we have recently secured new contracts in the Middle East, Turkey and South Africa. The company plans to recruit 80 new engineering and technical professionals over the next five years in response to growing demand for engineering services from the international energy sector.
“We are on track to double turnover from our international operations over the next five years and will need skilled people from all of the main engineering disciplines to support that growth.”
The engineering consultancy owned by ESB is currently expanding its business development team worldwide and recently opened a new office in Turkey. The company plans to open a number of other offices in key markets during 2013.
