Northern Ireland fit out specialist Mivan has announced a major recruitment drive following a host of new orders.

The Antrim-based firm will create 100 new jobs, with the first Recruitment Open Day taking place on Saturday 28 January from 10am to 3pm at Mivan's headquarters in Antrim. This will give people the opportunity to find out about the business, to meet its team and register their interest in new manufacturing and joinery roles.

The open day will include a short tour of the factory and prospective candidates will have the opportunity for an interview on the day if a possible career with Mivan is of interest.

Mivan Chief Executive, John Cunningham said: "The first phase of our recruitment process was completed towards the end of last year and we are now recruiting for a further 50 new positions. We have our strongest ever order pipeline in place for this year and into 2024 following an increase in demand for our high specification joinery and fit out services, particularly in the luxury hotel and high-end residential sectors.

We are offering an attractive package of benefits and there are great opportunities for training and career progression."

Mivan is seeking to expand its production team with joiners, wood machining CNC operators, workshop and despatch operatives, and spray-painters for its state-of-the-art painting department. There are also new positions for a forklift driver and quality manager.

We will be providing long-term career opportunities for local people who share our commitment to quality and excellence and who are keen to learn, develop and contribute to some really incredible, world-class construction and marine projects."
