Just over a month ago Fujitsu announced that they were setting up shop in Derry with 300+ jobs. Now Stream – one of the longest established IT companies in Derry – has announced another 300 jobs and the creation of new premises in the Waterside area of the city:
The company has an office in the Ulster Science and Technology Park on Buncrana Road and will also open new premises on the Waterside.
Manager-director Jeff Jennings said that they have already started recruiting.
“We’re looking for a broad range of people so it’s not going to be all technical support like the jobs in the past within Stream,” he said.
“We will be looking for people with good customer services experience and from all age groups – people with good empathy – now we are starting to chase the silver surfers, as they call them, the older people getting into broadband.”
These jobs are badly needed here in the North West. Fujitsu had a massive response when they started advertising their new positions, I suppose it won’t be much different with Stream. If only they paid decent wages!
