Leading the charge: Mallaghan launches major recruitment drive for senior engineers amid aviation growth

Mallaghan, a global leader in ground support equipment (GSE) manufacturing for the aviation industry, has launched a major recruitment campaign to attract highly skilled senior software, electrical, and mechanical engineers.

With demand for innovative equipment soaring, Mallaghan is expanding its team to help bring its bold new ideas to life.

This recruitment drive follows a significant investment into a brand-new factory facility at Mallaghan’s Dungannon site, which was a significant milestone in the company’s ongoing growth strategy to provide sustainable GSE to the aviation industry.

Niall Mallaghan, director at Mallaghan, said: “From fully electric GSE vehicles to autonomous vehicles driven by advanced sensors, machine learning and embedded control software, this is a pivotal moment for Mallaghan. We are entering a new chapter of innovation centred on electric and future-ready engineering solutions.

“To see through this vision, we are seeking experienced senior engineers who want to be part of something genuinely exciting.

“These positions will help us push the boundaries of what is possible, playing a vital role in reimagining how today’s airports operate and shaping the next generation of products.

“We want to attract the very best people, regardless of where they’re based, and we’re committed to offering new ways of working that make joining our team more accessible than ever.”

Mallaghan’s recent decision to introduce flexible and remote working within the design engineering team marks a significant shift in traditional manufacturing practices, extending opportunities to talented engineers based across Northern Ireland.

Mallaghan products are currently sold in more than 100 countries across the world with aviation clients such as Delta Air Lines, Gategourmet, Southwest Airlines, Qatar Airways, Servair, LSG and dnata.
