The Sligo based specialist software firm, SL Controls, will create 100 new highly-skilled jobs over the next two years.
The jobs are being created as part of the company’s strategic plan to continue its global expansion across Europe and the U.S.
Over the last two years the company increased its turnover by 43 per cent to €12.6m last year and it hopes to increase by another 68 per cent over the next three years with the aim to reach €21m turnover for 2025.
The new jobs will bring the workforce to a total of 220.
The jobs will be in the engineering field and will be based across Ireland with many of the roles ‘location independent’ to meet the needs of the company’s clients who are located across the globe.
SL Controls headquarters are situated in Sligo with offices in Dublin, Limerick and Galway and Florida.
The news roles will be a mix of remote and hybrid where workers can combine working from home with working from one of its offices.
The company is looking for people to fill both project management and technical roles. The technical positions will include: Software Developers, Senior Automation Engineers, Senior Software Engineers, Validation and Compliance Engineers as well as Senior and Intermediate MES Engineers.
SL Controls is an international provider of equipment system integrated solutions that facilitate the production of cutting-edge healthcare products and technologies that benefit patients around the world. The company works with a range of global brands primarily in the pharmaceutical, medical device and technology industries helping them modernise and digitally transform their manufacturing operations.
In July 2021, it announced that it was being acquired by global IT group NNIT, which is one of Denmark’s largest IT operators.
The integration with NNIT has led to an increase in both customers and projects for SL Controls, especially across Europe.
SL Controls has been supported by Enterprise Ireland for many years but, following the integration with NNIT, it will be transitioning over to become an IDA client during 2023.
Speaking to Ocean FM News, SL Controls CEO and co-founder, Keith Moran, welcomed the news and outlined the positive impact this will have for the region.
