In addition to the repairs and upgrades to LED and as part of the contract, Electric Skyline will provide night-time patrols of each public light in Cork City every 10 working days, this will be carried out by their EV Patrol Vehicle.
Electric Skyline expects to create 30 jobs over the next 24 months to support the company’s expansion into Munster, they will be recruiting management, electrical, general operative, warehouse, administration and health and safety.
They have recently opened a Munster Regional Office in Glanmire to stamp their commitment in the region. In addition to the Cork City contract, it also opens other opportunities for additional projects that are in line with the company portfolio in the Munster region.
