Paul Ryan, president of Vertiv in Europe, the Middle East and Africa (EMEA), highlighted the strategic importance of the investment for both the company and the region, saying: “This expansion represents a major vote of confidence in the skilled workforce and business environment of the Northwest region. The expansion of the facilities and creation of these roles in Derry and County Donegal will increase our manufacturing capacity and enable us to deliver critical digital infrastructure at scale and speed.”
The new positions are being created to meet immediate operational requirements driven by strong growth across Vertiv’s global markets. Roles will support the company’s expanding production of electrical switchgear ─ critical components used in data centres, communication networks, and industrial applications worldwide. Opportunities will span manufacturing, engineering, quality assurance, and support functions across Vertiv’s three manufacturing facilities in the region: Campsie in Derry, and Burnfoot and Letterkenny in County Donegal.
The majority of the roles will be for electricians, panel wirers, mechanical fitters, and general operators, with both full- and part-time opportunities available. Vertiv offers competitive pay, and recently enhanced its already strong employee benefits package.
The investment reinforces Vertiv’s long-term commitment to the region and reflects confidence in the local talent pool, infrastructure, and strategic location for serving international markets. The hiring increase will add to the more than 2,000 current Vertiv employees across Ireland.
