Another critical industry at the moment is telecoms. Having recently been contracted to survey and design the National Broadband Plan network, Kilkenny-headquartered telecoms firm Entegro has embarked on a recruitment drive.

The company is hiring for network-design engineers, experienced surveyors and trainees, all of which will help the company survey and design fibre-optic networks across Ireland. Check out the open vacancies at Entegro here.
