Engineers Sought In Recruitment Drive
Jobs are in focus today with local company Schrader Electronics, which has facilities in Antrim and Carrickfergus, holding a recruitment drive to find around 40 engineers across a range of disciplines with positions available for undergraduates, graduates and experienced engineers.
The company which already employs around 900 people in Northern Ireland, approximately 200 of which are engineers, is a leading manufacturer of Automotive and Industrial electronics and market leader in the design and manufacturer of Tyre Pressure Monitoring Systems (TPMS).
Due to Schrader Electronics' focus on innovation and design coupled with their world-class manufacturing facilities in Antrim and Carrickfergus, the company has continued to go from strength to strength despite the difficult economic climate - so much so the company has an immediate need for local engineers to meet business demands.
Ailsa McNeill Head of HR for Schrader Electronics explained: "We have quadrupled our turnover over the last five years and with the introduction of compulsory TPMS legislation due to come into effect in Europe and possibly in Asia, Schrader is poised for further significant growth for several years to come. In order to realise our full potential, we need to ensure that we continue to have a talented pool of engineers to join our expanding workforce.
"As a progressive company, we work very closely with educational partners to promote engineering as a career choice and have forged strong links over many years with both our local universities. We pride ourselves on being an excellent employer, offering career development and on-going training to our workforce and as an Institute of Leadership and Management accredited centre, we provide high quality in-house personal and leadership development opportunities."
Engineers interested in finding out more about the opportunities available at Schrader should attend the job fair on Thursday 1 December in the Europa Hotel, Belfast from 6pm-9pm and bring their CV.
Positions are available for undergraduates, graduates and experienced engineers in the disciplines of hardware, software, RF, electronics, mechanical and manufacturing.
The company has an impressive client list, which consists of most of the major car brands across the world including BMW, Mercedes, Ford, Peugeot, Renault and Saab.
Elsewhere, a leading Belfast print company has today announced an expansion that it says will make it the biggest supplier of digital print services to the Northern Ireland market space.
The expansion of Northside comes on the back of its purchase under a competitive bid of the print division of Bradbury Graphics which, according to Northside managing director Gary White, will further enhance its already strong position in the marketplace.
"Northside's position in the Northern Ireland marketplace was greatly strengthened last year by our teaming up with POD Print, so this is another great move for us, demonstrating our commitment to being Northern Ireland's leading provider of digital and related printing services," he said.
"Bradbury Graphics is a great brand and we very much look forward to working with the team going forward. By getting to know and understand the business in the coming months, we can ensure that its customers benefit from an efficient and cost-effective solution for their printing needs."
