Irish company Hanley Energy is planning to create up to 150 jobs this year as it expands its US business.
The latest expansion will bring to almost 1,000 the number of people employed by the company globally. Hanley currently employs 800 people across Ireland, the US, Australia, Germany, Sweden and South Africa. The announcement coincides with the opening of Hanley’s new $12 million headquarters in Virginia, located in what is known as “Data Centre Alley”. Hanley opened its first office in Virginia in 2016, acting as headquarters for its US regional offices in Ohio, Oregon, and San Francisco and starting with two employees.
“Climate change is the greatest threat facing humanity today. I believe Irish businesses, and enterprise in general have a pivotal role to play in turning the tide on climate change and biodiversity loss so we can leave the planet to the next generation in a better condition than we inherited,” he said.
