Galway-based battery technology company Xerotech is to create more than 100 new jobs to meet growing demand for its products.
Xerotech provides battery solutions for a wide range of applications, from mining and construction equipment to marine and aviation vehicles.
The company is seeking to fill various technical and support roles, including engineering, production, sales and marketing, research and development, quality assurance, machine build and design, supply chain, and testing.
It is planned that all the positions will be filled before the end of next year.
"We are excited to be expanding our team as we continue to develop new and innovative solutions for our customers," said Dr Barry Flannery, CEO of Xerotech.
"Our battery systems are helping to drive the transition to a cleaner, more sustainable future, and we are looking for talented and passionate individuals to join us in this mission," Dr Flannery said.
Taoiseach Leo Varadkar welcomed the jobs announcement.
"Batteries are going to be a big part of our post-fossil fuels future and it's extraordinary how advanced these technologies now are," Mr Varadkar said.
"It is a testament to the resilience of the Irish technology and manufacturing sectors and is very positive news for the west of Ireland," he added.
Xerotech's announcement of 100 new jobs follows on from the company's recent hiring for over 50 new positions.
Founded in 2015, Xerotech is headquartered in Galway and has a global presence.
