From Abbott to Zoetis and from QC to IT, we’ve picked out some of the best new career opportunities with some of Ireland’s biggest health employers.
What do we mean when we talk about ‘future health’? It might sound a bit vague, but the reason we like the term at SiliconRepublic.com is that it offers the scope to include deep tech, research and engineering functions.
So, the future in ‘future health’ means tech and R&D. As you may know if you’ve been searching for a job in pharma, biotech, medical devices and all those sub sectors that the healthcare industry is comprised of, tech skills are in big demand.
Recent CPL data showed, for example, that data professionals and people with AI knowledge are highly sought after by recruiters. And that’s not all. Take a look at this bumper crop of companies hiring people with a variety of tech skills to work on the latest developments in future health.
