Aurora Energy Services is setting out plans to create 350 jobs in anticipation of additional work across the sector.
Leigh-Ann Robb has been appointed resourcing manager to oversee the recruitment of process over the next 12 to 18 months.
The Inverness-based company has gained a number of project wins and has a strong pipeline of work in onshore and offshore wind, engineering, oil and gas, and industrial infrastructure sectors.
Aurora Energy Services chief executive, Doug Duguid, said: “In response to wide range of growth opportunities within the UK and internationally, we have established a new role of resourcing manager to enhance our existing capability, and to allow us to deliver a significantly larger workforce for both on and offshore projects.
“Leigh-Ann is adept at working in high-pressure, fast-paced environments while delivering operational excellence.”
Ms Robb added: “There are recruitment challenges across the energy sector, ranging from a limited pool of experienced contractors in renewables, to an ageing workforce and lack of new entrants in oil and gas.
“For Aurora to realise its full potential and to maintain its accelerated growth rate, our resourcing model has to be exemplary, and I look forward to driving that forward and meeting those challenges head on.”
