Plastics People Technical skills continue to be in demand
Plastic people -or those persons associated with manufacturing utilising polymer plastics such as PET continue to be in demand in the medical device manufacturing industry.
Positions for catagories such as Moulding Engineer, Manufacturing Engineer, or Production Manager with knowledge of injection moulding are keenly saught after by companies such as KCI, Vistakon and Mergon as these professionals are at the heart of their R&D and CIP stratagies which require cutting edge technology and High Value Added Knowledge and expertise that place Ireland at the same levels of Quality and New Product Development as Singapore, Germany and the US.
Our only weakness it would seem is there just are not enough qualified engineers and managers with plastic knowledge- perhaps we need to stretch our educational resources further to meet the demands of this increasingly lucrative sector?
