ESB Jobs – 3,700 New GREEN JOBS with ESB in Ireland
THE first 500 of 3,700 new jobs announced by the ESB will be offered to new recruits this year. The massive employment boost for thousands of workers was announced this week and is part of a €1bn a year investment in new green technologies. It should be pointed out that most of the jobs will not be in place until 2013. Still positive news all the same.
New recruits to ESB will work across a range of renewable technologies to reduce CO2 emissions. One such technology is the smart meter allowing householders to reduce their energy bills.
The 500 new jobs to be created this year will work on the rollout of free energy efficiency surveys for 25,000 households and the installation of insulation in homes. An additional 550 workers will work on a construction project revamping the old ESB headquarters in D2.
A part of the hiring drive ESB will also take on new engineers and provide training opportunities for 800 apprentices. This figure will include 400 FAS apprentices who lost their jobs during the recent economic slump.
