A Northern Ireland company is creating 32 “high value” engineering jobs as it grows its business managing onshore wind turbines and electric vehicle charging.
Everrun, which is based in Belfast, said it aims to triple turnover by the end of 2024 and will also diversify its business in managing solar power, battery energy storage and smart motor markets. The new jobs will contribute £1.43 million in salaries annually to the local economy, the company said.
As well as managing renewable energy generation, Everun also helps businesses to manage their energy usage with the aim of reducing consumption.
The latest investment comes as the company sets its sights on growing the business across the UK and Ireland.
“We have developed a strategy for expansion and diversification that will see us growing our reach across the UK and Ireland,” Michael Thompson, Everun’s Managing Director, said. “Our focus will be on consolidating our position as a leading provider of onshore wind turbine generator asset management services and building on our success to date in the EV charging arena.
“We’ve also identified significant opportunities for growth in the solar power, battery energy storage and smart motor markets.”
The investment has been supported by Invest Northern Ireland.
“Invest NI has been extremely supportive, helping us to take on staff when we first entered the EV charging market and assisting with this latest expansion. Its support ensures we can move quickly to establish Everun as a complete renewable energy services solution for businesses across the UK and Ireland.”
Grainne McVeigh, Invest NI’s Director of Advanced Manufacturing & Engineering, praised the company’s investment.
“Everun is helping businesses across the UK and Ireland to achieve their sustainability goals and reduce their carbon footprint. Through its range of renewable power solutions, the company is not only offering protection from volatile energy markets but is also providing products and services that help businesses reduce costs and improve productivity.
