US Company ‘Jacobs’ has announced that they will be generating 200 new jobs over the coming two years, as it unveiled a €4.5 million investment in its office in Cork.
The company, which provides end-to-end solutions for infrastructure, biotechnology, pharmaceuticals, semi-conductor, data centres and manufacturing clients, plans to fill the positions in Dublin, Cork and Belfast.
The new roles will be professional services positions across a range of specialities, project and construction management, design, commissioning, qualification and validation.
The announcement reflects the success and continued growth of the company in Ireland, as it marks 45 years since opening its office in Dublin in 1974 – its first operation outside of the US.
The Cork office investment includes state-of-the-art virtual and augmented reality technology, offering clients the ability to assess plans in 3-D. A complete change of office layout reflects the business’ move to a collaborative working environment, in line with strategic team-based planning operations.
