Xerotech, a leading supplier of advanced battery systems, has announced a significant expansion of its operations at its Claregalway manufacturing facility.
They need to hire 50 more people by the end of the year, and they’re searching for top talent to fill a variety of positions, including executive assistants, line operatives, design engineers, manufacturing engineers, supply chain, and workers in the fields of welding and automation, CNC machining, injection moulding, and sheet metal fabrication.
Xerotech, which was founded in 2015, makes advanced lithium-ion battery systems for use across construction, agriculture and mining machinery.
“We are eager to add global top talent to our team, driven by our latest expansion at our facility here in Galway,” said Dr. Barry Flannery, founder and CEO of Xerotech.
Welcoming the job announcement, Tánaiste and Minister for Enterprise, Trade and Employment, Leo Varadkar, TD, said “It’s always fantastic to see an Irish company to do well.”
“Xerotech’s growth has been phenomenal in the past couple of years. Batteries are absolutely crucial to our plans to stop climate change. We will be massively increasing our reliance on wind and solar renewables for energy which by their nature are unpredictable and intermittent.”
“Batteries will help give us security of supply. The vast majority of our vehicles will be battery powered too, and countless other items that run on fossil fuels now. I know Xerotech has global ambitions and has already seen massive international growth. I’m sure this is only the beginning. The very best of luck to the entire team.”
