EIGHTY additional jobs are to be created by Shannon Free Zone aviation services company, Shannon Technical Services by the end of 2023. The jobs will be in operations, commercial/administraton and aviation technical services.
Welcoming today’s announcement Shannon Chamber CEO Helen Downes said; “It is very heartening to watch a company grow its market share to the extent that it can announce the delivery of such commendable employment levels for Shannon by the end of its fourth year in operation.
“Shannon’s link with aviation is long-standing and to have a new nameplate operating from the Free Zone, whose leaders and employees have the industry experience and capability to make such an immediate impact in the global aviation market is most encouraging.
“The support from the Government, through Enterprise Ireland, is an endorsement of the strength of the company. This announcement will provide valuable employment and job opportunities in the Mid-West region and in Dublin in a variety of aviation-focused disciplines.
“News of this nature is most welcome at a time when the aviation sector generally has been so negatively impacted by the pandemic. We congratulate Shannon Technical Services on the progress made to date and look forward to working with CEO Ben Whelan and his team throughout its growth phase.”
