Description

Irish aircraft maintenance company Dublin Aerospace has announced 150 new jobs at Dublin Airport over the next two years. Dublin Aerospace commenced operations in 2009 after SR Technics pulled out of Dublin Airport with the loss of over 1,000 jobs. It has expanded since start-up after securing contracts with Aer Lingus and Easyjet. It is seeking skilled technicians and labourers with 45 positions available immediately. The jobs expansion will see the workforce rise to 300 within two years, and the new investment doubles the sites capacity to maintain Airbus A320s and Boeing 737s.
