Inch Cape Offshore Wind Farm has launched recruitment for the first 10 positions supporting the operation of the project from its new Montrose base.
The North Sea wind farm is located 15 kilometres off the Angus coast and will be operated from a new £6.5 million operations and maintenance facility currently under construction at the Port of Montrose.
The project is expected to create at least 50 full-time jobs during the operational phase. Positions will be available both with Inch Cape and turbine supplier Vestas, which has a service warranty agreement covering offshore turbine maintenance.
Anyone interested in the roles can find out more on the project’s vacancies page on the website.
The first recruitment phase includes management roles covering health, safety and environment (HSE), contracts and commercial activities, control room operations and engineering. Technical vacancies include wind turbine generator, foundations and balance of plant, high-voltage electrical and SCADA engineering positions, alongside a works co-ordinator and performance lead.
The roles will be office-based or hybrid, with offshore visits undertaken as required using crew transfer vessels operating to and from the site. Applications are open until mid-August, with successful candidates expected to begin in the autumn.
Further opportunities are expected as the project progresses, including goods and service contracts that will support ongoing operations and maintenance activities. Inch Cape Offshore Wind Farm is jointly owned by ESB and Red Rock Renewables, which each hold a 50% stake in the project.
