BMM Testlabs will create 1,000 full-time jobs during the next five years in the Greater Moncton area.
Premier Brian Gallant and Martin Storm, President and CEO of BMM Testlabs, made the announcement at The Capitol Theatre.
“This is a historic announcement in terms of the numbers of jobs being created by the private sector in partnership with the New Brunswick government,” Gallant said. “We are proud to partner with BMM Testlabs in creating 1,000 new good-paying jobs for the province. This is a game-changer for the province as we work to create more jobs for New Brunswickers in priority sectors, such as information technology.”
“BMM Testlabs is honored to work closely with New Brunswick in this important initiative,” said Storm. “BMM looks forward to building on its already substantial business in Greater Moncton, as we consider the city an ideal location to grow our Canadian presence.”
The 1,000 jobs that will be created include quality assurance testers, engineers, computer scientists, business development managers and project managers.
The investment by the provincial government will contribute an estimated $75 million annually to New Brunswick’s gross domestic product once all positions have been filled.
