New Science Jobs planned for in Medical Devices and Biopharma

Investment in new science jobs are being planned in the areas of Biopharmaceuticals, Medical Device Manufacture, telecommunications, pharmaceuticals and Semiconductor manufacturing.

The IDA announced yesterday that their strategic investment plan Horizon 2020 will involve the creation of over one hundred thousand new jobs in the next five years through a combination of nurturing indigenous employers and targeting FDI (Foreign Direct Investment) from the likes of Pfizer, Intel, Teleflex, KCI, Boston Scientific  and HP.

FDI has created over 140, 000 jobs and supports indirectly 240,000 jobs in the economy which has led to expenditure of €19 Billion and payroll of close to €7 Billion.

But has been said before plans are great but action is better- lets hope the IDA plans come to fruition.

Medical Devices Marketing Directors Lead the Way

The Market for Marketing Directors and Managers for Science jobs has broadened and expanded to include almost all science sectors. Medical Device Manufacturing, Pharmaceuticals, Biopharmaceuticals and laterly IC have begun to experience a resurgence of growth that is a positive indicator for the employment prospects of sales and marketing professionals. To date, all have witnessed considerable retrenchment in the technology sectors but no longer is this the case.

Medical Device and Pharmaceuticals manufacturing in Ireland as previously discussed has witnessed steady growth despite a global downturn that has affected most other sectors.

Medical Device Marketing Directors and Managers with expertise in marketing medical devices particularly disposable products are in great demand given the presence of such firms as Teleflex, Merit Medical, Boston Scientific and Medtronic who have seen huge growth in demand for their products.

Additionally, we have witnessed a considerable  increase in key positions such as Pharmaceutical Sales and Marketing Manager, Chief Science Officer and Head of Research & Development  to aid the development, sales and marketing of these new products for the local and foreign export markets. 

New automated manufacturing technologies  have also helped to reduce manufacturing costs for these goods and allied to applied R&D in these sectors there have been startling new product developments which have produced corresponding increased profits resulting in a far greater resilient industrial sector engaged in new science job creation centers which are of  such vital importance to Ireland’s new smart economy.
