160 New Jobs on the Menu as Just Eat delivers continued growth in Ireland

Just Eat joined the Tánaiste and Minister for Enterprise, Trade and Employment Leo Varadkar TD as the company announced that it is creating 160 new jobs in Ireland to support the continued strong growth in customer and restaurant partner demand.

In addition to announcing the newly created jobs, details of a new Dublin office space were also unveiled.

Just Eat announced that it is expanding its office real estate in Ireland by over 20,000sq ft with a planned move to the unique 35 Shelbourne Road building in Ballsbridge in February 2022.

The 25,000sq foot space, over two floors, will accommodate the additional 160 team members while also allowing ample space for future anticipated growth.

The 160 newly created roles will primarily be based at the company’s new Dublin offices and will involve roles in Customer Service, Sales, Office Management and Facilities. The Company has secured two floors in 35 Shelbourne Road with one floor of the new Dublin HQ dedicated to its Customer Services’ operations.

This will house highly trained people who will support customers seven days a week. The second floor will be home to Operations, Marketing, Administration, and the Just Eat Ireland management team.

Welcoming the announcement Tánaiste and Minister for Enterprise, Trade and Employment Leo Varadkar TD said: “This is great news from Just Eat today. I know how much many people relied on takeaway services during the pandemic and the fantastic work many delivery drivers and riders did during that time.  It’s encouraging to see the sector continuing to thrive and grow and I wish the company the best with this new investment.”

Commenting today, Amanda Roche-Kelly, Managing Director, Just Eat Ireland said: “We are delighted to announce this substantial expansion of our operations in Ireland. A continued increase in demand for our services has justified this investment and we are very excited about what the future holds for us here.

“With the welcome reopening of the hospitality sector, many of the independent restaurants that offered delivery for the first time in the past year have continued to maintain that as a key part of their business over the past number of months and intend to maintain it for the long-term.

“Our investment in people, and specifically in customer services, will bring us more even more insights from our customers and restaurant partners allowing us to continually enhance the quality of service offered.”

All new employees will take part in a bespoke and comprehensive training programme before they start their new role. Clear career development plans are also being put in place for all new customer service agents to enable them to build relevant skills and progress within the business.
