Vertiv has announced plans for the expansion of its manufacturing operations in Derry and Donegal, creating several hundred new jobs over the next six months in support of the company’s manufacturing capabilities in electrical switchgear. The facilities support customers worldwide, as demand for these power systems continues to accelerate alongside AI adoption.
Paul Ryan, president of Vertiv in Europe, the Middle East and Africa (EMEA), said: “This expansion represents a major vote of confidence in the skilled workforce and business environment of the Northwest region. The expansion of the facilities and creation of these roles in Derry and Co Donegal will increase our manufacturing capacity and enable us to deliver critical digital infrastructure at scale and speed.”
The new roles will support the company’s expanding production of electrical switchgear – critical components used in data centres, communication networks, and industrial applications worldwide. Opportunities will span manufacturing, engineering, quality assurance, and support functions across Vertiv’s manufacturing facilities in Campsie in Derry, and Burnfoot and Letterkenny in Donegal.
The majority of the roles will be for electricians, panel wirers, mechanical fitters, and general operators.
The investment reinforces Vertiv’s long-term commitment to the region and reflects confidence in the local talent pool, infrastructure, and strategic location for serving international markets. The hiring increase will add to the more than 2,000 current Vertiv employees across Ireland.
Headquartered in Westerville, Ohio, USA, Vertiv does business in more than 130 countries.
