Seaway7’s planned work on SSE’s 1.4GW Berwick Bank B project is expected to support 465 UK offshore wind jobs, including 400 in Scotland.
A total of 465 UK roles will be delivered through SSE’s Preferred Supplier Agreement with Seaway7 for the project’s Engineering, Procurement, Construction and Installation scope.
The announcement brings the total number of Berwick Bank jobs created or supported across the UK to around 600 so far, with more than 500 of these jobs in Scotland.
UK Government Energy Minister Michael Shanks said: “This is what reindustrialising Scotland looks like: good jobs, built on the skills of Scottish workers, delivering the power our country needs.
“This contract will support hundreds of jobs and strengthen Scotland’s role in the energy supply chain. It means more opportunity for Scottish workers and more homegrown power to protect families from the volatility of global fossil fuel markets.”
The total number of Scottish jobs created or supported by SSE so far through its Berwick Bank B commitments is now more than 500.
