100 New Jobs Announced For Waterford

Technology firm nearForm has announced 100 new jobs at its official opening of new headquarters at Waterford County Council's old building in Tramore.

The announcement was made by nearForm co-founders, chief executive officer (CEO) Cian Ó Maidín and chief technology officer (CTO) Richard Rodger.

Cian said: "It's a really proud day for us to announce these high-end jobs for Tramore. We were strongly urged by many parties to relocate to the U.S. We chose to stay here and build our company in a place where we wanted to raise our families. Our growth to 35 staff over the last three years has vindicated this decision. We look forward to growing in Tramore and hiring local and international expertise to share in our journey."
