50 new jobs over the next 18 months are to be created, as the specialist software integration firm, SL Controls, continues to expand.

The highly-skilled positions are in the engineering field and will bring the total workforce to 140. Around 50% of these roles will be split between Cork, Limerick and Dublin; 20% will be location independent and the rest will be in the west.

The company is also going to offer all staff – both existing and new – the opportunity, when restrictions allow, to work remotely or in the office – or a hybrid of both.

The new roles announced on Monday will be in Ireland, but the company will also be hiring in the US where SL Controls continues to expand.

It is also looking to add a new Cork presence to its number of locations and a new Director of Corporate Services has been recruited, who will head up development in this region.

Established in 2002, SL Controls is an international provider of equipment system integrated solutions to a range of world-leading brands across a number of industries including Medtech, Pharma, Healthcare and Technology.

An Enterprise Ireland client, SL Controls has offices in Sligo, Dublin, Limerick, Galway and Florida and has customers – mainly multinationals – in Ireland, across mainland Europe and the US.
