Iconic shipbuilder Harland & Wolff looks seeks Highland workers as ScotWind opportunities open up

One of the most famous names in shipbuilding, Harland & Wolff, is to host its first Inverness-Nigg Careers’ Evening in Alness.

Taking place at the Alness Heritage Centre this evening, Friday January 21, from 4pm to 8pm, it will also provide an opportunity to meet existing Harland & Wolff employees who can share their experiences of working with the Belfast-based brand whose shipbuilding heritage includes the Titanic, SS Canberra and HMS Belfast.

This event comes as 17 wind farm projects have been given the green light, leading to a multi-billion pound investment into the Scottish wind farm fabrication supply chain and follows Harland & Wolff’s acquisition last year of the former BiFab fabrication yards at Methil in Fife and Arnish on the Isle of Lewis.

These facilities will focus on fabrication work within the renewable, energy and defence sectors.

Its Belfast yard is one of Europe’s largest heavy engineering facilities, with deep water access, two of Europe’s largest drydocks, ample quayside and vast fabrication halls.
