Sligo company to create 100 new jobs

Specialist software integration firm, SL Controls, is to create 100 new jobs by mid-2025. The job creation is part of the company’s strategic plan to continue its global expansion across Europe and the U.S. 

From 2020 to 2022, the company increased its turnover by 43 percent to €12.6m last year. It is projected to increase by another 68 percent over the next three years with the aim to reach €21m turnover for 2025. 

The company has been building its workforce steadily over the past decade and the new jobs will bring the workforce to a total of 220.

The jobs will be in the engineering field and will be based across Ireland with many of the roles ‘location independent’ to meet the needs of the company’s clients who are located across the globe.

SL Controls is headquartered in Sligo with offices in Dublin, Limerick and Galway (as well as in Florida) and the roles will be a mix of remote and hybrid where workers can combine working from home with working from one of its offices.  

The company is looking for people to fill both project management and technical roles. The technical positions will include: Software Developers, Senior Automation Engineers, Senior Software Engineers, Validation and Compliance Engineers as well as Senior and Intermediate MES Engineers.

SL Controls CEO and co-founder Keith Moran says: “We are delighted to be able to announce a further 100 jobs for Ireland today as well as setting out our strong strategic growth plans. Joining forces with NNIT has further enhanced our service offering to meet our customers’ global requirements for fully integrated solutions across the Operational Technology and Information Technology layers. This has led to an increase in both clients and the level of work across Ireland, the U.S. and Europe. I’d like to take this opportunity to thank the SL Controls team who have enabled this strong growth and we look forward to welcoming new team members over the coming months.”
