Careers 

In the Irish Motor Industry

The SIMI Careers Team supports members and job seekers across by providing the tools, resources, and guidance needed to attract, recruit, and develop future talent. Through national outreach, free job promotion, and industry-led training, SIMI helps build a strong and sustainable workforce for the sector.

As part of our careers initiative, SIMI members can advertise motor industry job vacancies free of charge, helping businesses reach a wider audience and connect with skilled candidates nationwide. This initiative supports employers across the automotive sector.

What the SIMI Careers Team Do:

  • Attend career fairs and job expos across Ireland to promote careers in the motor industry
  • Promote member job vacancies free of charge, increasing online visibility and reach
  • Deliver continuous professional development and upskilling through SIMI Skillnet training programmes
  • Actively promote automotive apprenticeships in Ireland, supporting long-term workforce development

SIMI members can support, and benefit from this initiative by:

  • Registering with their local SIMI Centre Committee or Training Committee
  • Nominating a staff member to represent their business at careers and outreach events
  • Volunteering for school and education liaison events, helping to promote motor industry careers while raising business visibility

By getting involved, members strengthen their own recruitment pipelines while helping to develop the next generation of automotive professionals in Ireland.
