Following a surge in business last year, digital mapping services provider Esri Ireland has announced the creation of 35 jobs over the next of two years.

Esri Ireland is expanding, with aims of increasing its Geographic Information Systems software (GIS) from annual revenues of €7m in 2016 to €10m by the end of the decade. 
To do that, it has revealed plans to up its headcount from its current level of 50 to 85 over the next two years, with a series of technical roles to be created.
  
Available positions include skilled and specialist roles such as software engineers, GIS consultants and developers as well as sales and marketing people. As a member of Esri UK and the global group, the team will be working on both Irish and international projects. The majority of new employees will be based in the company offices near Blanchardstown.
 
Speaking about the investment, Paul Synnott, director and country manager, Esri Ireland, said: “The growth of digital information and mapping in particular means that businesses and government are increasingly seeing opportunities to achieve competitive advantage, service improvement and cost savings from geographic information systems. As the global leader, our platform is seen as being best in class, however, technology is increasingly taken for granted, and the real value comes from the knowledge and expertise involved in deploying geography into companies’ business processes and workflows. These customers now need greater access to experienced and skilled GIS experts."
 
Esri’s software lets people record where things happen and analyse why, with the aim of providing insight and helping them to make better decisions.
 
“By continuing to recruit and invest in hiring the highest calibre of GIS professionals, we will ensure that we continue to serve the needs of our customers. As well as a sign of our ongoing commitment to our existing customers throughout Ireland, this will empower us to demonstrate the tangible cost savings and service improvement that GIS can deliver to leading businesses around the country.”
