NK Communications, a sales and marketing company, is creating 25 new jobs in Dublin over the coming months.

According to a statement from the group the new hires come thanks to an extension of a contract it holds with Energia, an energy supplier.

NK Communications provides field sales agents to Energia and has done so since the company entered the home energy market in 2014. The 25 new hires will be working on residential sales.
