Chinese telecoms company Huawei is to create 110 new jobs before the end of 2022. These jobs are on top of 200 posts Huawei has created over the past 15 months. The company currently employs 480 people in Ireland.

The new roles include sales, R&D and IT development and will be based mainly at its Dublin headquarters and across operations in Cork and Athlone.

Huawei is the world’s largest telecoms equipment maker. Its Irish arm recorded a 38 per cent jump in turnover to €164.8 million in 2019 as pretax profits rose just over 10% to €5.5 million.
